label Text is not changing using Qt Linguist

[thomasjoy]

hi all
i am using QT4.1 on Mac
by using qt linguist i had made the whole application text into multi languages
everything ia getting changed but text of label doesn't change
when i do lupdate label text include much things like font-family,font:,font-weight etc.

<source>&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;meta name=&quot;qrichtext&quot; content=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body style=&quot; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Lucida Grande; font-size:13pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none;&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;&quot;&gt;create&lt;span style=&quot; font-weight:600;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Image&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;&quot;&gt;It is used to create image file&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</source>
<translation type="unfinished"></translation>

but i had made it just as it is,as text of designer's label.like this

<source>create Image
It is used to create image file</source>
<translation type="obsolete">crer image
Elle est employe pour crer le dossier d image</translation>


so do tell me why its not showing converted text

if anyone ne know then do tell me what is the problem and also tell the reason to not converting


thanks in advance

you should take a look @ the following example...

[thomasjoy]

but i am following exactly the same things as qt manual have the example
and even i want to follw that way.....

if you know then tell what problem can occur
even on the same dialog text of buttons is changed title of windows is changing so why not the label text

[wysota]

Could we see some code?

[thomasjoy]

actully problem is not with code
as i had created the same kind of example that works fine
but if project get larger or larger then it doesn't translate the label's text
but it is showing message what ever i am going to show but label text which is placed on another dialog is not changing

means by double clicking from mainwindow i get another dialog which have this label text

so can you tell what problem it is ???


thanks in advance

Without any code we won't be able to help. The size of the application doesn't really matter. Maybe you forgot to update translation files or there is a problem with initializing the translator? Does QTranslator::load return true after loading the translation?

Providing a minimal compilable example reproducing the problem would help greatly.

[thomasjoy]

thans for reply
see firstly i had done the lupdate unicodetest.pro (to craete the .ts files)
after inserting strings of label text in french language ,i.e UnicodeTest_fr.ts, i had done the
lupdate unicodetest.pro
lrelease unicodetest.pro
and then qmake &&make on terminal
and even translator is returning true but still label text is not changing on the another dialog

see the code for french language



void UnicodeTest :: OnClickFrench()
{
bool x=trans.load("UnicodeTest_fr","/UnicodeTest/translation");
QString msgStr=trans.translate("UnicodeTest","You had chosen the French Language ");
QMessageBox::information(0,"message",msgStr);
QString menuActionStr= trans.translate("UnicodeTest","English");
actionEnglish->setText(menuActionStr);
QString menuActionStr1= trans.translate("UnicodeTest","French");
actionFrench->setText(menuActionStr1);
QString menuStr=trans.translate("UnicodeTest","Language");
menuLanguage->setTitle(menuStr);
qApp->installTranslator(&trans);

}

[wysota]

Do all the translate() calls return proper translated data? If so, then I don't see anything incorrect here... What exactly doesn't work? I'm only having a doubt about using translate() instead of tr() or QT_TR_NOOP() - are your strings even grabbed by lupdate into the ts file?

[thomasjoy]

yes every translate() is translating the text tha's why it shoeing the translated text on first window when i click french language on mainwindow but label text on next dialog which is written in one of my previous post...which is in< source>.....<translation > form is not changing....

tell me what type of problems can be occured..with it???

[wysota]

Where do you perform the actual retranslation? For Designer created uis this will be done automatically through retranslateUi() method created by uic, but for manually coded windows you have to do that yourself.

[thomasjoy]

can you tell me whe this error occurs???
tag mismatch in XML file UnicodeTest_en.ts

but as i had observed deeply there is no tag which is mismatching of XML file

thanks in advance
