Is there a way to generate a ts-file for qml and python at the same time?

May be a dump question but I have the following problem:

I have projects with both qml and python-files which contains strings, that should be translated.

There are tools for generating a ts-file for python-files (pyside-lupdate) and qml-files (lupdate) and they work fine for their own files but not for the others.
So every time I change something, I have to generate two seperate ts-files and merge the two ts-files by hand.

Call me lazy, but if there is a way to do it in one step, please let me know :p

I have never tried pyside, but can't you create the ts file with a script which calls both pyside-lupdate and lupdate which operates on python files and qml files but on the same ts file? Won't the ts file be filled by both programs?

Re: Is there a way to generate a ts-file for qml and python at the same time?

Unfortunately this doesn't work, because both programs seems to override the ts-file:

pyside-lupdate after lupdate:

Code:

pyside-lupdate -verbose main.py -ts base.ts 

Updating 'base.ts'...

    Found 3 source texts (3 new and 0 already existing)

    Kept 0 obsolete translations

    Removed 26 obsolete untranslated entries

lupdate after pyside-lupdate

Code:

lupdate qml/* -ts base.ts Bringe 'base.ts' auf aktuellen Stand...

    Found 26 source text(s) (26 new and 0 already existing)

    Kept 3 obsolete entries

but the 3 obsolete entries are gone :confused:

Re: Is there a way to generate a ts-file for qml and python at the same time?

Check the ts version both commands use, are they different? You have to open the ts file with a text editor.

Another solution is to script everything:

Code:

pyside-lupdate main.py -ts temp.ts

tail -n +4 temp.ts

lupdate qml/* -ts base.ts

head -n -1 base.ts

cat temp.ts >> base.ts

EDIT: you create the first ts file and remove first 3 lines. Than create the second ts file, remove its last line (</TS>) and append the first ts file. So you get the complete ts file with just one (double) click.

Re: Is there a way to generate a ts-file for qml and python at the same time?

Thanks for the suggestion with the script, the version of pyside generated ts-file and lupdate are different (1.1 and 2.0). So I tried to change 1.1 to 2.0 by hand but the same outcome. I checked the PyQt lupdate and the ts-versions are the same, but the same result. :(

Code:

pylupdate4 version 4.8.1

pyside-lupdate version 4.8.0

lupdate Version 4.8.1

Funnily the generated headers of the files contains different line breaks, so you have to adapt the script a little bit (+4 should be +3).

lupdate

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE TS>

<TS version="2.0">

...

pylupdate4

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE TS><TS version="2.0">

...

pyside-lupdate

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE TS><TS version="1.1">

...

Because I'm not so good at bash scripting (tail and head don't change the ts.file, right?) I wrote a python script for myself that I will use.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

#-*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os

os.system('lupdate qml/* -ts lupdate.ts')

os.system('pyside-lupdate main.py -ts pylupdate.ts')

with open('lupdate.ts','r') as lupdate:

    lines_lupdate = lupdate.readlines()

with open('pylupdate.ts','r') as pylupdate:

    lines_pylupdate = pylupdate.readlines()

with open('base.ts','w') as base:

    base.write(''.join(lines_lupdate[:-1]+lines_pylupdate[2:]))

os.system('rm lupdate.ts pylupdate.ts')

Thanks for your help!
