QT - Read translator file .ts/.qm on translations.qrc file

[lele86]

Hi guys, I'm trying to import translator file on my qt project (QT 5.6 on linux system), but I can't upload translation file because "load" function of "QTranslator" returns always "false".

I have the following project structure:

Project root: /
/resources/translations.qrc
/resources/translations/app_it .qm and .ts
/resources/translations/app_en .qm and .ts
...

In main.cpp file of qt application I have the following source code:

QTranslator *translator = new QTranslator();
bool isFileTranslatorLoaded = translator->load(":/translations/translations/app_it);

isFileTranslatorLoaded always returns false.

File translations.qrc:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/translations">
        <file>translations/app_it.ts</file>
        <file>translations/app_it.qm</file>
        <file>translations/app_en.ts</file>
        <file>translations/app_en.qm</file>
    <qresource>
<RCC>

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in Advice

Best Regards Daniele

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You are passing an invalid path. You only need the processed version .qm there's no need for the *.ts files.

I have followed your suggestions but isFileTranslatorLoaded returns always false. In c++ code I wrote bool "isFileTranslatorLoaded = translator->load(":/translations/appit.qm");" and my resource file is:

<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/translations" lang="it">
<file alias="appit.qm">translations/app_it.qm</file>
</qresource>
<qresource prefix="/translations" lang="en">
<file alias="appen.qm">translations/app_en.qm</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

I don't know why the .qm file isn't loaded. It seems that the resource file is not loaded in the main.cpp file.

Thanks in advice.

Because you are using lang="it" this means that the file is only available if your locale is Italian. See the resources chapter in Qt's documentation for a more thorough explanation.

Hi @SGaist , This doesn't work for me as well. I tried with using lang=en, lang=ar and without the lang attribute.
