Hi,

I’ve just migrated from PyQt to PySide and I’m now working with translations. With PyQt the translations worked perfectly, but now with PySide there’re some texts that aren’t translated. I’m very confused, as I think I’m handling all the texts the same way.

What I’ve done so far:
  1. Changed the string formatting from PyQt format “Hello %1” to PySide format “Hello {0}”
  2. Deleted old .ts translation files (lupdate had some problems, better to start from scratch)
  3. Generated new .ts files with command
    Qt Code: 
    1. C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PySide\pyside-lupdate.exe Ui_MainWindow.py MainWindow.py -ts translations\German.ts
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
  4. Translated all texts using Qt Linguist and marked text status to “ready”
  5. Compiled .qm files with command
    Qt Code: 
    1. C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PySide\lrelease.exe translations\German.ts
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 


After this most of the translations are working, e.g.:

Qt Code: 
  1. self.loggedStatus.setText(self.tr('User: {0}').format(self.user.name))
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

…but in the same file some of the texts are not translated, e.g.:

Qt Code: 
  1. reply = QMessageBox.question(self, self.tr('Quit program'),
  2. self.tr('Exiting program. Do you want to save the changes to report data?'),
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When I look into .ts files, I see that both these texts are translated and their translation status is the same. I’d be very happy for any clues where to continue investigating the problem.

Thanks!

My configuration:
Windows 7 (64 bit)
Python 2.7.3 (32 bit)
PySide 1.1.2 (32 bit)
