miqt-lupdate - Go Packages (original) (raw)

miqt-lupdate

The miqt-lupdate program generates .ts Qt translation files from MIQT .go files.

Usage

For example usage information, see the examples/linguist or examples/linguist6 folder.

Comments are supported with similar syntax natively supported by Qt:

// an ignored/private comment

/* an ignored/private comment block */

//: a comment for translators

/*: an included comment block for translators */

Usage of ./miqt-lupdate:
  -AddComments
        (Optional) Include code comments in the output file, defaults to false
  -InFile string
        Input file (.go) or directory
  -KeepObsolete
        (Optional) Keep obsolete and vanished strings, defaults to false
  -Language string
        (Optional) Language code, defaults to empty
  -NoRecursive
        (Optional) Disable recursively parsing all subdirectories, defaults to recurse if input is a directory
  -OutFile string
        (Optional) Path to .ts output file; if omitted, inferred from the input file or directory path

Architecture design

Tokenize and parse valid MIQT .go files
Generate translation contexts based on the Go code structure
i. Example of valid and supported syntax structures1:

l := NewQLabel3(QCoreApplication_Translate("Context", "My string to translate"))  
p := NewQPushButton3(QPushButton_Tr("My string to translate"))

Write out translation file

1Only raw string and integer parameter types used in valid syntax are supported.
