tr() is not working for me
Message 1 in thread
I am creating applications to create various calendar pages
( Shameless plug: <http://www.diyplanner.com/templates/dynamic/> --
and all the source is there )
I live in the US
I am encountering problems with tr()
Specifically, in the app DIY_Two_Page_Year, I received email from a
Netherlander, telling me that things were not translating properly
I am using the QDate::toString() method for all day and month names
and that is working, but static text - like buttons and labels and
such do not work.
They show up in English.
Example code snippets:
QPushButton *quit = new QPushButton ( tr ( "Quit" ), this ) ;
QString leftLabel = tr("Calendar Year ") ;
But it all shows up in English.
What did I miss ?
Do I need a translation file to get things like "Quit" to translate
to the "local" language ?

You hit your own nail on the head.
In the assistant hit the home button to get the first index page.
Under "Core Features" is "Internationalisation". Click that.

Hello Dan,
use document for "internationalize" and do not forget to load the
translation for qt itself, you'll find it in $QTDIR$/translations (QM +
TS - files), if you do not load, all "standard dialogs" like QMessageBox
are in english language.
Regards,
Peter
