Cross-Platform Development with Qt 6 and Modern C++

By: Nibedit Dey

Overview of this book

Qt is a cross-platform application development framework widely used for developing applications that can run on a wide range of hardware platforms with little to no change in the underlying codebase. If you have basic knowledge of C++ and want to build desktop or mobile applications with a modern graphical user interface (GUI), Qt is the right choice for you. Cross-Platform Development with Qt 6 and Modern C++ helps you understand why Qt is one of the favorite GUI frameworks adopted by industries worldwide, covering the essentials of programming GUI apps across a multitude of platforms using the standard C++17 and Qt 6 features. Starting with the fundamentals of the Qt framework, including the features offered by Qt Creator, this practical guide will show you how to create classic user interfaces using Qt Widgets and touch-friendly user interfaces using Qt Quick. As you advance, you'll explore the Qt Creator IDE for developing applications for multiple desktops as well as for embedded and mobile platforms. You will also learn advanced concepts about signals and slots. Finally, the book takes you through debugging and testing your app with Qt Creator IDE. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build cross-platform applications with a modern GUI along with the speed and power of native apps.

Chapter 11: Internationalization

In earlier chapters, we learned how to create GUI applications with Qt Widgets or Qt Quick. To make our applications usable across the world, we need to add translations to the application.

The process of making your application translation-aware is known as internationalization. It makes it easy to localize content for viewers from different cultures, regions, or languages. Translating Qt Widgets and Qt Quick apps into local languages is very easy with Qt. These processes of adapting an application to different languages with the geographical and technical standards of a target market are known as internationalization.

You will learn how to make an application with multilingual support. Throughout the chapter, we will explore different tools and processes to make a translation-aware application. In this chapter, we will discuss the following:

  • Basics of internationalization
  • Writing source code for translation
  • Loading translation...
