QML Internationalization

Example

First we create a simple QML file with text to be translated. The string that needs to be translated is enclosed in a call to qsTr().

hello.qml:

 import QtQuick 1.0

 Rectangle {
     width: 200; height: 200
     Text { text: qsTr("Hello"); anchors.centerIn: parent }
 }

Next we create a translation source file using lupdate:

 lupdate hello.qml -ts hello.ts

Then we open hello.ts in Linguist, provide a translation and create the release file hello.qm.

Finally, we can test the translation:

 qmlviewer -translation hello.qm hello.qml

You can see a complete example and source code in the QML Internationalization example.
