CMake 3.16 is available on the major Linux distributions nowadays, so we can get rid of some workarounds. Change-Id: I32500375748f33c3e40fbd7a08824d823f817a8f Reviewed-by: Cristian Adam <cristian.adam@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Qt CI Bot <qt_ci_bot@qt-project.org>
How To add translations to Qt Creator
-
Coordinate over the mailing list to avoid duplicate work.
-
Read the instructions at http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Localization
-
Add your language to the
set(languages ...line inCMakeLists.txt. Don't qualify it with a country unless it is reasonable to expect country-specific variants. Skip this step if updating an existing translation. -
Configure a Qt Creator build directory with CMake.
-
Run
cmake --build . --target ts_<lang>.If your Qt version is too old, you may create a template by running
lconvert --drop-translations qtcreator_de.ts -o qtcreator_<yours>.tsand adjusting the language attribute in the new .ts file. The downside of this method is that you will not be translating the newest Creator sources (unless qtcreator_de.ts was completely up-to-date). Of course, this method is not applicable if you are updating an existing translation.You may also request an up-to-date template from us.
-
Start Qt Linguist and translate the strings.
-
Create a commit:
- Discard the modifications to any
.tsfiles except yours - Create a commit with your file
- If needed, amend the commit with the modified
CMakeLists.txtfile
- Discard the modifications to any
-
Follow http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Contribution_Guidelines to post the change for review.
-
.qm files are generated as part of the regular build.
Note: QmlDesigner contains code from the Gradient Editor of Qt Designer. If an
official translation of Qt for your language exists, you can re-use the
translation of those messages by merging Qt Creator's and Qt Designer's
translation using lconvert:
lconvert qtcreator_<LANG>.ts $QTDIR/translations/designer_<LANG>.ts > temp.ts
Move the temporary file back to qtcreator_<LANG>.ts, complete the Gradient
Editor's translations and update the file, passing the additional option
-noobsolete to lupdate (by temporarily modifying
<qtcreator>/cmake/QtCreatorTranslations.cmake). This will remove the now
redundant messages originating from Qt Designer.
