    Hi,

    I've two sub-projects the first one is a widget built as static library while the second is an application uses that library.

    THE PROBLEM: I don't know how to load translation for the used widget... May I get some help from you?

    • WidgetKeyboard.pro
    TARGET = WidgetKeyboard
    TEMPLATE = lib
    CONFIG += staticlib
    DESTDIR = bin
    
    greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4) {
        QT += widgets multimedia
    }
    
    unix {
        target.path = /usr/lib
        INSTALLS += target
    }
    
    SOURCES += \
        widgetkeyboard.cpp \
        qkeypushbutton.cpp
    
    HEADERS += \
        qkeypushbutton.h \
        widgetkeyboard.h
    
    TRANSLATIONS += \
        i18n/WidgetKeyboard_ar.ts \
        i18n/WidgetKeyboard_de.ts \
        i18n/WidgetKeyboard_en.ts \
        i18n/WidgetKeyboard_fr.ts \
        i18n/WidgetKeyboard_it.ts \
        i18n/WidgetKeyboard_ru.ts
    
    RESOURCES += \
        languages.qrc \
        resources.qrc
    
    OTHER_FILES += \
        i18n/*.ts
    
    • Tester.pro
    TARGET = Tester
    TEMPLATE = app
    
    INCLUDEPATH += ../WidgetKeyboard
    LIBS += -L../WidgetKeyboard/bin -lWidgetKeyboard
    
    greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4) {
        QT += widgets multimedia
    }
    
    SOURCES += main.cpp \
        tester.cpp \
        examplemyfocus.cpp
    
    HEADERS += tester.h \
        examplemyfocus.h
    
    FORMS += tester.ui
    
    TRANSLATIONS += \
        i18n/tester_it.ts \
        i18n/tester_ru.ts \
        i18n/tester_en.ts \
        i18n/tester_de.ts \
        i18n/tester_fr.ts \
        i18n/tester_ar.ts
    
    OTHER_FILES += \
        i18n/*.ts
    
    RESOURCES += \
        resources.qrc
    

    I load the translation using this snippet:

    void Tester::on_listWidget_itemClicked(QListWidgetItem *item)
    {
        QLocale             *local;
        QString             newLang = item->text();
    
        if (newLang == "French")
            local = new QLocale(QLocale::French);
        else if (newLang == "Russian")
            local = new QLocale(QLocale::Russian);
        else if (newLang == "German")
            local = new QLocale(QLocale::German);
        else if (newLang == "Italian")
            local = new QLocale(QLocale::Italian);
        else if (newLang == "English")
            local = new QLocale(QLocale::English);
        else if (newLang == "Arabic")
            local = new QLocale(QLocale::Arabic);
        else
            local = new QLocale();
        //FIXME Unable to load translation for WidgetKeyboard!
        if (myTranslator->load(*local, QLatin1String("tester"), QLatin1String("_"), QLatin1String(":/i18n")))
            qApp->installTranslator(myTranslator);
        else
            qDebug("Failed to load a translation for QT in your local language");
    }

    hi,
    theoretically if your lib is static (e.g. *.a or *.lib in win) that will be linked alongside the application that is using the lib.
    Then, just use QApplication::translate(...) with the correct context and it will work.

      Thanks, but this is not related to my question!
      I already successfully created translation for the library but I don't know how to load it when I call the widget

        Hi,

        You can use QTranslator like shown in the documentation. The fact that you don't do it in main is irrelevant. The only thing that you must ensure is that your widgets handle dynamic translation properly.

          I didn't mention calling from main() !

          My question is quite simple. How can I load *.qm from static library resource? as you can see below I can load *.qm easily from current project resource by using ":/"

          myTranslator->load(*local, QLatin1String("tester"), QLatin1String("_"), QLatin1String(":/i18n"))
          

          I aim to load translation from static library to be able to apply multiple translations as mentioned in QTranslator doc

            Hi
            Maybe try

            QDirIterator it(":", QDirIterator::Subdirectories);
                while (it.hasNext()) {
                    qDebug() << it.next();
                }
            

            to have a look how the files are named in the running exe to to verify
            that they are indeed under ":/i18n" and paths are as you expect.

              You're asking the wrong question. Actually @SGaist and @AlterX have provided valuable feedback and you'd be wise to take it into account. I peeked into your repository and I'm pretty sure you're creating your translator wrongly. Did you notice this warning: "Note that the translator must be created before the application's widgets." in the documentation?

              Kind regards.

                To add to @kshegunov , the note concerns the use of QTranslator shown in the example i.e. setup of the language at application startup and no support of dynamic translations.

                  Oh, yes, you're surely correct I forgot to check for the changeEvent() override in his code :S Still I don't see anything wrong with the translation loading by itselt.

                    How the application doesn't support dynamic translations? Take a look into this line it calls changeEvent and if you run the app. you'll find that Tester loads the translations dynamically correctly while it doesn't call translations for static library widget because I don't know how to do it!

                      I tried to use Q_INIT_RESOURCE as mentioned in this line but unfortunately it makes things worst.

                        How the application doesn't support dynamic translations?

                        He was referring to the note in the documentation I was citing, and was explaining that it is only relevant when there is no support for dynamic translation.

                        it doesn't call translations for static library widget because I don't know how to do it!

                        You do it, like you're doing it now. Here's the thing, a static library is nothing more then a bunch of .obj files put together. Linking a static library just includes them into your application's binary. This means, that there is nothing different between widgets that come from a static library and these declared in your application (see @AlterX's comment, he mentioned that). That's why I said you're asking the wrong question. Your translation loading looks perfectly fine to me, and it has nothing to do with static or dynamic libraries - you need to look elsewhere to solve the problem. Do you have any output in the creator's windows that might suggest your translation is not loaded? Do you get the "Failed to load a translation for QT in your local language" message printed?

                        I tried to use Q_INIT_RESOURCE as mentioned in this line but unfortunately it makes things worst.

                        Yes you should do that for all the resources in your static library. But according to this it should be placed in the beginning of main().

                        Kind regards.

                              Hello,
                              Something is amiss here, let's take it from the top. You said that you get the "Failed to load a translation for QT in your local language" message, but this message is to be shown when this fails:

                                  myTranslator->load(*local, QLatin1String("tester"), QLatin1String("_"), QLatin1String(":/i18n"))
                              

                              This particular line is in your application and tries to load an application translation, where does a static library resource come in play here? Could you tell what is the current language you're using and its iso code (you could use QLocale::language() and QLocale::languageToString), and make sure there's a matching translation file?

                              Kind regards.

                                  Indeed you did, it's my mistake, sorry.

                                  which points to myTranslator->load(":/languages/arabic") failure!

                                  Could you verify that this file is available? For example what does QFile::exists(":/languages/arabic") return, true or false? If the file exists then the problem is with the actual loading, if the file is not found, then I guess there's a problem with the resource initialization.

                                  Kind regards.

                                    I get true

                                    After reviewing the project I discovered there are two "resources.qrc" the first one in the static library and the other in tester app. so I supposed this maybe makes Qt confused so I renamed one of them to a different name but unfortunately I still get same result.

                                      Hi
                                      Maybe try

                                      QDirIterator it(":", QDirIterator::Subdirectories);
                                          while (it.hasNext()) {
                                              qDebug() << it.next();
                                          }
                                      

                                      to have a look how the files are named in the running exe to to verify
                                      that they are indeed under ":/i18n" and paths are as you expect.

                                        Could you verify that this file is available? For example what does QFile::exists(":/languages/arabic") return, true or false?

                                        I get true

                                        If the file exists then the problem is with the actual loading, if the file is not found, then I guess there's a problem with the resource initialization.

                                        After reviewing the project I discovered there are two "resources.qrc" the first one in the static library and the other in tester app. so I supposed this maybe makes Qt confused so I renamed one of them to a different name but unfortunately I still get same result.

                                        What about loading like this:

                                            translator->load("arabic", ":/languages");
                                        

                                        And as a second suggestion: I think you should create another QTranslator object for the second translation file.

                                        Kind regards.

                                          Thanks. This fixed Tester app. problem but it didn't fix the main problem (loading translation from static library) I still get this error message:

                                          Failed to load translation from static library
