Translation not showing - tr()

[muhammadumair]

I am trying to make a sample application that supports two languages.
the problem i am facing is that its not showing translation.

when i debuged it, found that translation file is not at its correct location

98.600 Debug: Application path: "C:/Private/20059659"
98.600 Debug: Binary path: "C:/Private/20059659"
98.600 Debug: Found Translation_la: false

i am using carbide and my translation file is in same folder with code files

here is my code

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    qInstallMsgHandler(myMessageOutput);
    QTranslator translator(0);
    bool bFound = false;
    QDir dir(".");
    QString trPath;
    qDebug() << "Application path: " << dir.currentPath();
    qDebug() << "Binary path: " << QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath();
    trPath = QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "Translation_la";
    bFound = translator.load(trPath);
    //bFound = translator.load("Translation_la");
    qDebug() << "Found Translation_la: " << bFound; 
    app.installTranslator(&translator);
    QPushButton hello(QPushButton::tr("Hello Translation World!"));
    hello.show();
    return app.exec();
}

here is my translation file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

i have build .qm file using QT Linguist

You might wanna put debug print with your filename appended to the trPath. It might reveal that you are missing a "/" between path and your filename.

May be the following two posts will help you:

You have compiled the .ts files with Qt Linguist, the .qm files are generated but have you defined in the .pro file that the .qm files will be copied at the same directory as the executable (where the executable will be installed)?

The following lines do what i mention:

symbian: {
addFiles.sources = helloworld_fi.qm helloworld_en.qm
addFiles.path = .
DEPLOYMENT += addFiles
}

you were right about the file path,

21.585 Debug: Application path: "C:/Private/20059659"
21.585 Debug: Binary path: "C:/Private/20059659"
21.590 Debug: Found Translation_la: "C:/Private/20059659/Translation_la" false

though it did not solve the problem, file is still not found

thanks favoritas37

symbian: {
addFiles.sources = helloworld_fi.qm helloworld_en.qm
addFiles.path = .
DEPLOYMENT += addFiles
}

this solved my problem, but translation is showing up as unicode i.e \u1234
even when i used trUtf8();

i have to look at that now.

because its better to use QApplication::translate() instread of tr()
