    Description

      Summary is in a subject line. More detailed example:

      main.py - very simle file to display main window and assign text to a label:

      from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow
      from main_wnd import Ui_MainWindow
      
      class MainWnd(QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
          def __init__(self):
              QMainWindow.__init__(self)
              self.setupUi(self)
      
              self.label.setText(self.tr("Test label"))
      
      
      def main():
          app = QApplication()
          wnd = MainWnd()
          wnd.show()
          return app.exec()
      
      
      if __name__ == '__main__':
          main()
      

      UI of main window is created as main_wnd.ui with help of Qt Designer (attached). This file was converted to main_wnd.py with help of command /usr/lib/qt6/uic -g python -o ./main_wnd.py ./main_wnd.ui. It contains a right block of code for UI translation:

      def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
          MainWindow.setWindowTitle(QCoreApplication.translate("MainWindow", u"Test phrase window", None))
          self.label.setText(QCoreApplication.translate("MainWindow", u"TextLabel", None))
      

      Then I created very simple main.pro file:

      SOURCES = ./main.py ./main_wnd.py
      TRANSLATIONS = en.ts ru.ts
      

      Next step is to generate translation files and here is the problem.

      When I run command /usr/lib/qt6/bin/lupdate main.pro I get only this in ru.ts:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE TS>
      <TS version="2.1">
      <context>
          <name>MainWnd</name>
          <message>
              <location filename="main.py" line="12"/>
              <source>Test label</source>
              <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
          </message>
      </context>
      </TS>
      

      I.e. it takes only text from my own main.py module and ignores QCoreApplication.translate() calls generated by Qt Designer in main_wnd.py.

       

      Old version of the tool (pylupdate5 main.pro) generates full set of tranlations - one line for main.py and two lines for main_wnd.py:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <!DOCTYPE TS>
      <TS version="2.1">
      <context>
          <name>MainWindow</name>
          <message>
              <location filename="main_wnd.py" line="50"/>
              <source>Test phrase window</source>
              <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
          </message>
          <message>
              <location filename="main_wnd.py" line="51"/>
              <source>TextLabel</source>
              <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
          </message>
      </context>
      <context>
          <name>MainWnd</name>
          <message>
              <location filename="main.py" line="9"/>
              <source>Test label</source>
              <translation type="unfinished"></translation>
          </message>
      </context>
      </TS>
