I've added translation to my qt/qml app using this tutorial
https://retifrav.github.io/blog/2017/01/04/translating-qml-app/ https://github.com/retifrav/translating-qml
And most seems to work well except that the values of the combobox dont get update with dynamic translate. Im using qt 5.11.2.
By a combobox i mean this:
ComboBox {
textRole: "text"
Layout.fillWidth: true
model: ListModel {
Component.onCompleted: {
append({text: qsTr("None")})
append({text: qsTr("Subpanel")})
append({text: qsTr("All")})
}
}
}
ComboBox {
textRole: "text"
Layout.fillWidth: true
model: ListModel {
ListElement{text: qsTr("None")}
ListElement{text: qsTr("Subpanel")}
ListElement{text: qsTr("All")}
}
}
None of them gets updated. I've done some research and found this on bug reports https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-68350 This seems to get fixed on 5.12, but for various reason we need to keep the same version, is there a way i can fix it for this version? (5.11.2)
EDIT: I dont find a way to translate comboBox. Is there another way of doing translations? even if it means to open a new instance of the app? Can someone point me to a link? Can't find a way to do this.
EDIT2: Is there a way to force the model of the combobox to be updated by javascript? when the changeLanguage() method is called?
note: As a complaint i'm finding the support / community to get answers for Qt problems terrible, really bad, but maybe its my problem.
Unfortunately, I can't test all the cases at the moment (and I don't have an access to the Qt 5.11.2), but I think this should work:
ComboBox {
textRole: "text"
Layout.fillWidth: true
displayText: qsTr(currentText)
model: ListModel {
ListElement{text: "None"}
ListElement{text: "Subpanel"}
ListElement{text: "All"}
}
delegate: Button {
width: ListView.view.width
text: qsTr(model.text)
}
}
Or, another way is to re-create a model when language is changed:
ComboBox {
id: combobox
textRole: "text"
Layout.fillWidth: true
model: ListModel {
dynamicRoles: true
}
Component.onCompleted: {
reload()
}
Connections {
target: trans // this is a translator from a git project you are referring to
onLanguageChanged: {
combobox.reload()
}
}
function reload() {
var i = combobox.currentIndex
combobox.model = [
{text: qsTr("None")},
{text: qsTr("Subpanel")},
{text: qsTr("All")}
]
combobox.currentIndex = i
}
}
