lrelease(1)
NAME
lrelease - generate Qt message files from Qt Linguist
translation files
SYNOPSIS
lrelease [ options ] project-file lrelease [ options ] ts-files
DESCRIPTION
This page documents the Qt Linguist Release tool for the
Qt GUI toolkit. Lrelease reads a qmake/tmake project file
(.pro file) and converts the translation files (.ts files)
specified in it into Qt message files (.qm files) used by
the application to translate.
The .qm file format is a compact binary format that pro
vides extremely fast lookups for translations and that is
used by Qt.

USAGE
- Here is an example .pro file that can be given to lre
lease: - HEADERS = funnydialog.h

SOURCES = funnydialog.cpp - main.cpp wackywidget.cpp
FORMS = fancybox.ui
TRANSLATIONS = gnomovision_dk.ts - gnomovision_fi.ts gnomovision_no.ts
- gnomovision_se.ts
- When running lrelease on this project file, the Qt message
files gnomovision_dk.qm, gnomovision_fi.qm, gnomovi
sion_no.qm and gnomovision_se.qm will be generated from
gnomovision_dk.ts, gnomovision_fi.ts, gnomovision_no.ts
and gnomovision_se.ts, respectively. - Lrelease can also be invoked with a list of .ts files to convert:
