Translation
VLC translation is base on gettext
to mark a string for translation:
on C++ side you should use
qtr
macro which is available in theqt.hpp
, this will translate the enclosed string and return a QStringaddButton->setToolTip(qtr("My tooltip here"));
For advanced usage, you can use vlc_gettext/vlc_ngettext functions directly
For indirect translation (string inside a static list for instance), you should use the
N_
macro to mark strings for translationconst char* myLabels[] = { N_("a label"), N_("another label") }; for( size_t i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(myLabels); i++) something->addEntry(qfu(myLabels[i]));
on the QML side you need to use
qsTr("my string")
files that contain translated strings needs to be added to the
po/POTFILES.in
