How to translate a string into hindi

[arkenoid]

hello all..
i am new to qt. and i want to convert the english text to hindi. But i couldnot find any devnagari family supported in Qfont..
I could convert text into various fonts like times new roman, sans serif etc, but not in hindi..

@ QFont f("Dev Kruti 010",12,QFont::Bold);
QFont g("Times New Roman",12,QFont::Bold);
ui->hindiEdit->setFont(f);
ui->englishEdit->setFont(g);@

But i could get hindi font in hindiEdit, rather some english family font is displayed..
can anyone help me in this?

I also tried using Qtextcodec but could not succed in this...

@QString encoded_string = "blah blah"; // Some ISO 8859-5 encoded text.
QTextCodec::setCodecForLocale(QTextCodec::codecForName("U-0973"));
QByteArray string = QTextCodec::fromUnicode("ram");//QTextCodec::fromUnicode("encoded_string");
ui->hindiEdit->setText(string);@

here error is generated like this one:
@/home/hello50/mainwindow.cpp:26: error: cannot call member function 'QByteArray QTextCodec::fromUnicode(const QString&) const' without object@

I could not identify the error in this.. and hence unable to resolve the error.. can any one help me ?

you can aslo see qtranslator.may be below code helps you.

@#include <iostream.h>
#include <qapplication.h>
#include <qtranslator.h>
#include <qlabel.h>
#include <qpushbutton.h>
#include <qlayout.h>
#include <qmultilineedit.h>
#include <qmenubar.h>
#include <qpopupmenu.h>

class ExampleWidget : public QWidget
{
public:
ExampleWidget( QWidget *parent = 0, const char *name = 0 );
~ExampleWidget();
private:
};

ExampleWidget::ExampleWidget( QWidget *parent, const char *name )
: QWidget( parent, name )
{

QBoxLayout *topLayout = new QVBoxLayout( this, 5 );

QMenuBar menubar = new QMenuBar( this );
menubar->setSeparator( QMenuBar::InWindowsStyle );
QPopupMenu popup;
popup = new QPopupMenu( this );
popup->insertItem( tr("&Quit"), qApp, SLOT(quit()) );
menubar->insertItem( tr("&File"), popup );

topLayout->setMenuBar( menubar );

QBoxLayout *buttons = new QHBoxLayout( topLayout);

int i;
for ( i = 1; i <= 4; i++ ) {

QPushButton* but = new QPushButton( this );
QString s = tr("Button %1").arg(i);
but->setText( s );

buttons->addWidget( but, 10 );
}

QMultiLineEdit *bigWidget = new QMultiLineEdit( this );
bigWidget->setText( tr("This widget will get all the remaining space") );
bigWidget->setFrameStyle( QFrame::Panel | QFrame::Plain );

topLayout->addWidget( bigWidget);

QLabel* sb = new QLabel( this );
sb->setText(tr("Let's pretend this is a status bar"));
sb->setFrameStyle( QFrame::Panel | QFrame::Sunken );
sb->setFixedHeight( sb->sizeHint().height() );
sb->setAlignment( AlignVCenter | AlignLeft );

topLayout->addWidget( sb );

topLayout->activate();
}

ExampleWidget::~ExampleWidget()
{
}

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );

if(argc < 2) {
cout << "Usage: ./i18n -[gb|big5]\n";
exit(1);
}

a.setFont(QFont("Times", 16, QFont::Normal));

QTranslator *translator = new QTranslator(0);
if(!strcmp(argv[1], "-gb")){

translator->load("i18n_gb.qm", ".");
} else if(!strcmp(argv[1], "-big5")){

translator->load("i18n_big5.qm", ".");
}
a.installTranslator(translator);

ExampleWidget f;
a.setMainWidget(&f);
f.show();

return a.exec();
}
