In order to create or update a translatable file, run the following command
2
in the directory i18n/:
4
lupdate ../src -ts quassel_xx.ts
6
where xx is the two-letter language code according to ISO 639 (which,
7
if needed, may be suffixed by a country code according to ISO 3166).
8
Quassel will automatically load these translation files based on the
9
system locale. Examples for valid file names:
14
You can open these XML files with the Qt Linguist and add/edit translated strings.
16
The *.ts files can and should be kept in sync with the source code by running
17
lupdate regularly (existing translations won't be removed).
19
Qt itself does not use the *.ts files, but a compact binary format (*.qm).
20
These files will automatically be generated at build time. By default, all
21
languages will be built. To select languages, add -DLINGUAS="<languages>"
22
to your cmake call, where <languages> is a space-separated list of language
23
codes as explained above.
25
NOTE: You'll need lrelease installed with your Qt in order to generate
26
translation files. Some distributions don't package that tool;
27
in that case you won't get translations.
