I use QT5_CREATE_TRANSLATION inside my CMakelists.txt to keep my ts files in actual state. It is very useful. But when I call make clean my ts files are cleaned also. If I understand right it is because of
add_custom_command(OUTPUT ${_ts_file} COMMAND ${Qt5_LUPDATE_EXECUTABLE} ARGS ${_lupdate_options} “@${_ts_lst_file}” -ts ${_ts_file} DEPENDS ${_my_sources} ${_ts_lst_file} VERBATIM)
inside the QT5_CREATE_TRANSLATION function.
I have patched the original Qt5LinguistToolsMacros.cmake to avoid this problem. See the attached patch.
I hope this workaround will be usefull.
