    Default Character encoding in text edit and llne edit

    Hi!

    I programming in qt for half year, but still now I made just english-language software. Today I would like to make something with hungarian characters, so I should use utf8 or iso 8859-2.

    I found this:
    Qt Code:
    1. QString QObject::trUtf8 ( const char * sourceText, const char * comment = 0, int n = -1 )
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and
    Qt Code:
    1. QString::fromUtf8(" ... ")
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    - these are good for settings, but how can I get the text of a text edit or a line edit in utf8 format?

    Thank you,
    greenvirag

    Sorry, I asked wrong question.

    I don't need Qt Translation, because the language of the software will be english. But maybe, some user will upload some string using special characters. I get this string:

    Qt Code:
    1. QString description = ui.textEdit->toPlainText();
    2. QString sname = ui.nameLineEdit->text();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    and ok, it can really show these characters. But I need to convert these variables to char*, keeping the special characters.

    My problem, that I didn't see at the first time, is that after the QString --> char* conversation the special characters will be lost.
