[Qgis-developer] Multilanguage plugin development

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi Andreas,

I use Eric Python IDE for my plugins which takes care of my translations 
by scanning alle source files in the project for code that needs to be 
translated. You can start QtLinguist from the eric project.

I use <code>QtGui.QApplication.translate("yourContext", 
"yourTextToTranslate", None, QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8)</code> 
which is exacly what pyuic creates from QtDesigner's ui files (no idea 
if this is good but it works :)
