It is possible to create new Qt translation (*.ts) file and add it to Qt project. But neither lupdate, nor lrelease are automatically invoked to actually do something with these files. Usual workflow for translations (outside NetBeans): 1. Create new *.ts file, add it to TRANSLATIONS variable in Qt project file. 2. Run lupdate, which extracts translatable strings from sources and writes them to *.ts files. 3. Edit *.ts files with Qt Linguist. 4. Run lrelease, which compiles *.ts files into *.qm files. *.qm files can be used by Qt program. NetBeans supports steps 1 and 3, but ignores 2 and 4.
Context menu of *.ts file should include items: 1. Update this file 2. Update all translation files 3. Compile this file 4. Compile all translation files 1 and 2 invoke lupdate, 3 and 4 invoke lrelease. Also lrelease should be invoked during build by default. There should be an option in project options to turn it off.
I have a temporary solution for step 2,4 where Netbeans must update *.ts files and also generate *.qm files: 1-First of all you must Add your translation to project: Add New : Qt Translation file. after that nbproject/qt_Debug.pro must include your new empty translation file in TRANSLATION+= 2-open "Makefile" under "Important Files" of project 3- goto build section where you see this: # build build: .build-post .build-pre: # Add your pre 'build' code here... .build-post: .build-impl # Add your post 'build' code here... 4- replace that sections with these ones: TEMPRO=.tmepqt.pro # build build: .build-post .build-pre: nbproject/qt-${CONF}.pro cat nbproject/qt-${CONF}.pro > ${TEMPRO} lupdate ${TEMPRO} lrelease ${TEMPRO} rm ${TEMPRO} # Add your pre 'build' code here... .build-post: .build-impl # Add your post 'build' code here...
