[Qt-interest] Query related to Internationalization in loading .qm file at runtime

[Hemalatha Venkataswamy]

Hi,

Thanks again for your answers.

I capture the event on Language change and tried to change the text of all 
the labels/widget I have in the GUI for langauge translation. When I do a 
"setText" for the labels, for some labels it reflects and some other 
labels on the same dialog box does not get translated.

Please suggest me if you have answers for this. Thanks a lot for your 
response.

Thanks With Regards

Your widget gets an event: QEvent::LanguageChange (
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qevent.html#Type-enum). You catch this event 
through the http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qwidget.html#changeEvent method 
(which you override in your custom widgets).

Widgets/dialogs designed by Qt Designer do implement this automatically, 
so (in theory) you only need to worry about your custom widgets.

Once you receive this event you do something like this (pseudo-code):

MyWidget::MyWidget(QWidget *parent;)
{
  ...
  // create the custom widgets
  this->createWidgets(parent);
  // set the text (to be translated)
  this->updateText();
  ...
}

// a new *.qm file has been loaded
void MyWidget::changeEvent(QEvent ev)
{
  ...
  if (ev instanceof Qt::QLanguageChangeEvent)
  {
    this->updateText();
  }
  ...
}

// tr() will make sure that the text is properly translated,
// given the current *.qm file
void MyWidget::updateText()
{
  label->setText(tr("Text to be translated");
  this->setTitle(tr("Title to be translated");
  ...
}

There is a Qt example which shows how this works (at least I remember one 
from Qt 3 times), but I can't find it right now ;)

Cheers, Oliver
