Allow to embed translated .qm file dynamically in resources

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Support embedding translations (.qm files) into binaries.

      This is possible with qmake:

      CONFIG += embed_translations

TRANSLATIONS += app_de.ts

      We should allow the same functionality with CMake.

      Following snippet comes close:

      set(TS_FILES tra_de.ts)
// [...]
qt_create_translation(QM_FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} ${TS_FILES})
qt6_add_resources(mytarget "mytarget" PREFIX "i18n" FILES ${QM_FILES})

      Anyhow, the $QM_FILES contain an absolute path, which seems to be embedded as file name in the generated resource file.
