These +capabilities are described more fully in: +\list +\o \l {Internationalization with Qt} +\o \l {Qt Linguist Manual} +\endlist + +You can test a translation in \l {qmlviewer} using the -translation option. + +\section1 Example + +First we create a simple QML file with text to be translated. The string +that needs to be translated is enclosed in a call to \c qsTr(). + +hello.qml: +\qml +import Qt 4.6 + +Rectangle { + width: 200; height: 200 + Text { text: qsTr("Hello"); anchors.centerIn: parent } +} +\endqml + +Next we create a translation source file using lupdate: +\code +lupdate hello.qml -ts hello.ts +\endcode + +Then we open \c hello.ts in \l {Linguist}, provide a translation +and create the release file \c hello.qm. + +Finally, we can test the translation in qmlviewer: +\code +qmlviewer -translation hello.qm hello.qml +\endcode +*/ |
