Hi all
I want to make my python application multilingual, so the user can have it in his own language.
AFAIK it works with .po files, how ever I do not yet understand how to do it.
It seems to be possible with gettext (http://docs.python.org/library/gettext.html), but how does it work with my QT user interfaces?
My IDE (Eric) generates python files out of the QT designer files. In there are all strings surrounded with "QtGui.QApplication.translate(...)", ex.

Code:

self.actionHelp.setText(QtGui.QApplication.translate("StartWindow", "Help", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))

How do I include those into the translation?
