-NOTE: Translations are not yet used in Quassel, but will be soon!
-
In order to create or update a translatable file, run the following command
in the directory i18n/:
quassel_de.ts
quassel_en_US.ts
-You can open these files with the Qt Linguist and add/edit translated strings.
+You can open these XML files with the Qt Linguist and add/edit translated strings.
The *.ts files can and should be kept in sync with the source code by running
lupdate regularly (existing translations won't be removed).
+
+Qt itself does not use the *.ts files, but a compact binary format (*.qm).
+These files will automatically be generated at build time. By default, all
+languages will be built. To select languages, add -DLINGUAS="<languages>"
+to your cmake call, where <languages> is a space-separated list of language
+codes as explained above.
+
+NOTE: You'll need lrelease installed with your Qt in order to generate
+ translation files. Some distributions don't package that tool;
+ in that case you won't get translations.
