Problem when translating my app

[jacek]

For the best reason : I tested before asking

And why it isn't effective?

it appears in the context "MainWindow" and the source text panel is "Music" and I 'translated' it to "No music".

Are you sure that your application loads the newest .qm file?

when I try with tr() I got this error :

tr() is a static method of QObject class.

QPushButton hello( QObject::tr( "Music" ) );

QPushButton hello( QObject::tr( "Music" ) );

Because it doesn't work in my case ! (and of course I have a problem because that's very useful functions... there's no doubt about this)

Are you sure that your application loads the newest .qm file?

How can I be ? There's only one .qm file and thus if it load the ui translation, it must load the others... (I don't really know about this).

tr() is a static method of QObject class.

QPushButton hello( QObject::tr( "Music" ) );

QPushButton hello( QObject::tr( "Music" ) );

Correct ! I understood that while I was reading the chapter 15 (internationalisation) of the Qt 3 online book !

edit : of course, I deleted the .ts and the .qm and made new ones to be sure that is a "proper" translation but that didn't change anything to my problem ! Do you need more source code or screenshots ?

Ah, OK. "too ineffective" == "doesn't work in my case"

There's only one .qm file and thus if it load the ui translation, it must load the others...

Then delete that file, start your application and check if no translation was loaded, create a new .qm file and check your application again.

Yes I'm sorry English isn't my native language thus sometimes I may use some incorrect way of putting things togheter but I try to be at least readable .

Then delete that file, start your application and check if no translation was loaded, create a new .qm file and check your application again.

Ok I'll try that tomorrow ! (it's midnight here (Beligum))

Already thanks for trying to help me that's not the first time !

I've just took another look on your configure() method. You create the translator on the stack, so it gets destroyed when configure() returns.

It should be:

void ui_murefImpl::configure(QApplication *myApp)
{
    QTranslator *translator= new QTranslator();
    ...
    translator->load(QString("MuRef_") + locale);
    myApp->installTranslator( translator );
    ...
}

void ui_murefImpl::configure(QApplication *myApp)
{
    QTranslator *translator= new QTranslator();
    ...
    translator->load(QString("MuRef_") + locale);
    myApp->installTranslator( translator );
    ...
}
