Support embedding Qt's translation files into executable

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      We can embed the application's *.qm files as resource files (see QTBUG-89399):

      # qmake
CONFIG += embed_translations
TRANSLATIONS += app_de.ts

      # CMake
qt6_add_translations(my_app
    TS_FILES my_app_de.ts my_app_no.ts
    RESOURCE_PREFIX "/translations")

       

      However, Qt's own translations (e.g. qtbase_de.qm) still need to be deployed to disk (using windeployqt, for example).

      It would be good to be able to embed Qt's own translations into the executable itself at build-time too.
