[Localization] Adding Translations For New language To Qt6

[Kizito Birabwa]

Hello again,

Following the advice to use the lupdate and the German translation, I have created and edited a qtbase_lg.ts file for qt6.

However, when I try to crate a commit by running ninja stage-ts as described on the Qt Localization Wiki page the following happens:

[muwawa at muwawa qttranslations ((v6.7.3))]$ ninja stage-ts
[1/1] cd /home/muwawa/nls/Ebikyusibwa/Qt/build/qt6/qttranslations && /...usibwa/Qt/build/qt6/qttranslations/translations/git-stage-script.cmake

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
[muwawa at muwawa qttranslations ((v6.7.3))]$ 

I have checked the file that it complains about:

[muwawa at muwawa qttranslations ((v6.7.3))]$ cd translations
[muwawa at muwawa translations ((v6.7.3))]$ pwd
/home/muwawa/nls/Ebikyusibwa/Qt/qt6/qttranslations/translations
[muwawa at muwawa translations ((v6.7.3))]$ ls -al | grep git-stage-script.cmake
-rw-r--r-- 1 muwawa muwawa   1289 Des 21 20:41 git-stage-script.cmake
[muwawa at muwawa translations ((v6.7.3))]$ 
 
>From it's content git-stage-script.cmake looked as though it ought to be executable, however the same failure happens even when I make it so:

[muwawa at muwawa qttranslations ((v6.7.3))]$ ninja stage-ts

-rwxr-xr-x 1 muwawa muwawa 1289 Des 21 20:41 translations/git-stage-script.cmake*
[muwawa at muwawa qttranslations ((v6.7.3))]$ 

Could you advise me on how to successfully complete this stage please?

Regards,

Kizito

that seems like a bug. please file a report against qt, component build
system.

yeah, it's broken. the issues that prevented me from fixing it were
fixed meanwhile, so i should give it another try ...

for the time being, you can use the german translation as a template, as
it's being kept up to date (the one for 6.9 is pending on gerrit, but
you seem to want to target 6.7 anyway). use `lupdate foo_qt6_de.ts -xts
foo_qt5_lg.ts -ts foo_qt6_lg.ts` to transplant your qt5 translations
into it (at least i think this command should work ...).
