hi,

I found a bug when implementing and using multi language files and dynamically updating qml text and calling:

m_engine->retranslate();

When calling this function all bindings will be called and re evaluated.

but also the indings for the window size, and on Android the window size is really small.

this happens on a Samsung S9 with android version 9.

 

i have a solution by using the following class, and

do this in the qml file -> text: qsTr(“BLAH BLAH”) + cppObject.emptyString

#ifndef TRANSLATIONAPP_H
#define TRANSLATIONAPP_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
#include <FelgoApplication>
#include <QQmlContext>
#include <QTranslator>
#include <QDebug>

class TranslationApp : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(QString emptyString READ getEmptyString NOTIFY languageChanged)

public:
    explicit TranslationApp(QObject *parent = nullptr);

    QString getEmptyString() {
        return "";
    }

    void initialize( QQmlApplicationEngine *engine ) {
        m_engine = engine;
    }

    //-- check language?
    Q_INVOKABLE void autoLocaleLang() {

        QString locn = getLocaleLang();

        if( locn.indexOf("NL") > -1) {
            selectLanguage("nl");
        }
        else if( locn.indexOf("DE") > -1) {
            selectLanguage("de");
        }
        else if( locn.indexOf("EN") > -1) {
            selectLanguage("en");
        }
    }

    Q_INVOKABLE QString getLocaleLang() {
        QString locname = QLocale().name();
        qDebug() << "getLocaleLang() : " << locname;
        return locname;
    }

    Q_INVOKABLE void selectLanguage(QString language) {

        if(language == QString("nl")) {
            qDebug() << translator1->load("langfile_nl", ":assets/lang/");
            qApp->installTranslator(translator1);
        }

        if(language == QString("de")) {
            qDebug() << translator2->load("langfile_de", ":assets/lang/");
            qApp->installTranslator(translator2);
        }

        if(language == QString("en")) {
            qApp->removeTranslator(translator1);
            qApp->removeTranslator(translator2);
        }


        emit languageChanged();


#if defined(Q_OS_ANDROID)
        qDebug() << "not working as expected";
#else
        if( m_engine ) {
            m_engine->retranslate();

        }

#endif
    }

signals:

    void languageChanged();

public slots:

private:
    QTranslator *translator1;
    QTranslator *translator2;

    QQmlApplicationEngine *m_engine;
};

#endif // TRANSLATIONAPP_H





#include "translationapp.h"

TranslationApp::TranslationApp(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{
    m_engine = nullptr;

    translator1 = new QTranslator(this);
    translator2 = new QTranslator(this);
}
