translator files platform dependent?

[MasterQ]

Hi

I put the translator file qtbase_de.qm in a resource file to embed it into my code.

Loading the file on Linux is working fine. But same code on Windows fails.

Code:

    qtTranslator = QTranslator()
    qDebug("Translator " + "exists" if QFile.exists(":/assets/qtbase_de.qm") else "exists not")
    if qtTranslator.load(":/assets/qtbase_de.qm"):
        qDebug(f"Translator installed: {qtTranslator.language()}")
    else:
        qDebug("no Translator installed")

Linux:

2024-11-21 13:53:53.627 [debug] JHXManager.unknown : Translator exists
2024-11-21 13:53:53.628 [debug] JHXManager.unknown : Translator installed: de_DE

Windows:

2024-11-21 13:54:35.146 [debug] JHXManager.unknown : Translator exists
2024-11-21 13:54:35.146 [debug] JHXManager.unknown : no Translator installed

In both cases, Linux and Windows, the file can be loaded from rc file, but why fails qtTranslator.load on Windows?

I made a diff of the file from PySide6 on Linux and on Windows. The files are identical.

What is wrong?

@MasterQ Do you have any platform specific sections in your pro or CMakeLists.txt?

[MasterQ]

this is Python!

No, I do not have any platform specific code ... so far

Hi,

Are you using the same version of PySide/PyQt on both OS ?

[MasterQ]

Yes, it is PySide 6.8.0.2 on both OS.

But on Linux I use Python 3.12 and on Windows 3.13

--Edit: --
the Python version doesn't matter!, Just tested.
