The SailfishOS SDK does not currently properly support code translations / localization. QtLinguist requires (among others) commands 'lupdate' and 'lrelease'' the paths of which can be.configured in.QtCreator's external tools section, but these binaries are missing. This means that .ts and .qm files needed for translation support cannot be generated automatically from the code.

These tools (lrelease/lupdate) are present in the default SDK build targets and you can define translation actions in your *.pro file. There's no need to install anything extra to get automatic translations generated from code.
For now these tools will not be available from QtCreator, because the build/translation process takes place inside the SDK virtual machine and QtCreator cannot issue direct commands there.
Ok thanks, didn't know that.. I had only been trying to set them up on external tools tab in QtCreator, but now it's clear why the tools could not be found. Are there any .pro file examples where I could see how the translstion and generation of .ts and,.qm files is done during build?

The way people are doing it now seems to involve using lupdate / lrelease binaries from other sdk installs, but still, if it is already implemented behind the scene, it would be nice to have some instructions on how to correctly set up the .pro file.

You should be able to use your system qt provided commands as a workaround.
onion ( 2014-01-02 13:33:16 +0300 )editThis means I have to install another SDK / toolset, which is ok as a workaround. This, however, does not yet mean full QtLinguist toolset support..
