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 LANGUAGES line in translations.pro.
Don't qualify it with a country unless it is reasonable to expect
country-specific variants.
Skip this step if updating an existing translation, obviously.
- Run "make 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>.ts
and adjusting the language attribute in the new .ts file. The downside
of this method is obviously 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.
- Fire up linguist and do the translation.
- Create a commit:
- Discard the modifications to any .ts files except yours
- Run "make commit-ts" to create a commit with a cleaned .ts file
- If needed, amend the commit with the modified .pro file
- 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
translations.pro). This will remove the now redundant messages originating
from Qt Designer.
