Just look into your Qt docs; on the first page, under "Core Features",
there's a link to the docs about Internationalization of Qt apps.

Message 3 in thread
the internationalization in qt i had already read they even are
saying to use Qt liguist..and i had used the same but that is still
not working properly or may be i m doing mistake some where to
understand it
so i need some help
like see i have one combo in which i m showing the all the loaded
languages which having are loaded by translator by .ts and .qm files
languages are loaded properly but now problem is that ,related to
that combo, i have text edit field from where i am getting usergiven
text and as i change the combo language other than english
corresponding text from the textfield does not change.
can anyone tell me how it can be changed
what i have to do with coding that language should be changed
see what ever i am doing;
void langChange :: languageChanged()
{
for (int i = 0; i < qmFiles.size(); i++)
{
comboBox->insertItem(0,languageName(qmFiles[i]),QVariant());
}
}
void langChange :: changed()
{
QString str;
str=textEdit->toPlainText ();
QMessageBox::information(0,"!!",str);
//WHAT TO DO
}
QString langChange::languageName(const QString &qmFile)
{
QTranslator translator;
translator.load(qmFile);
//qApp->installTranslator(&translator);
return translator.translate("MainWindow", "English");
}
QStringList langChange::namesQmFiles()
{
QDir dir("");//corresponding dir path
QString strFileName = "";
QStringList fileNames = dir.entryList(QStringList("*.qm"),
QDir::Files,QDir::Name);
QMutableStringListIterator i(fileNames);
while (i.hasNext())
{
i.next();
i.setValue(dir.filePath(i.value()));
}
return fileNames;
}
thanks & regards

You're misunderstanding something here. User input cannot be translated
easily, except if you allow only certain strings that you know before
running. But in that case a combobox or radiobuttons is much better.
Building an application that translates any text a user inputs into a
textfield is something different then internationalizing your
application. For that you have to find dictionaries for the languages
you want and then lookup the text in the input field in that dictionary.
This will of course only work on simple words, if your goal is something
that translates word groups or even sentences you've got a whole lot
more todo, like analyzing the words findout out what type of word you
have (noun, verb,...) and the grammar of a sentence. There's nothing in
Qt that directly helps you with that task, i.e. no dictionary, no
word-analyzers and so on.

Are you trying to make it, so when the user changes language from a
combobox, all the languages are displayed in the new languages native
wording? So that say, "English" was shown in English if English was
selected, but was shown as ingles in spanash, or as anglais if French is
selected?
f so, here is how I would do it.
First, determine the list of translateable languages
Second, add each language name to the combo box as a tr( "English" )
type
Third, make sure each translataion has the name of every other language
Finally, Make sure your hooked up to the global language changed signal
(forgot the name of it off the top of my head)
That should take care of it.

translations/langChange_eo.ts
now can u please do tell me where is the problem going on
code is:
void langChange :: languageChanged()
{

{
comboBox->insertItem(0,languageName(qmFiles[i]),QVariant());
}
}
void langChange :: changed(QString str)
{
str=textEdit->toPlainText ();
QMessageBox::information(0,"!!",languageName(str));
//WHAT TO DO
}
QString langChange::languageName(const QString &qmFile)
{
QTranslator translator;
translator.load(qmFile);
//qApp->installTranslator(&translator);
return translator.translate("MainWindow", "English");
}
QStringList langChange::namesQmFiles()
{
QDir dir("");//corresponding dir path
QString strFileName = "";
QStringList fileNames = dir.entryList(QStringList("*.qm"),
QDir::Files,QDir::Name);
QMutableStringListIterator i(fileNames);
while (i.hasNext())
{

I'm not certain I understand you correctly, but if you need to cha,ge teh
language of a GUI dynamically, have a look at this:
