Hi Matthias,

the last week I have updated the pyqgis cookbook with the the
translation chapter

http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/plugins.html#translation

that should describe all the steps you described..

It seems the problem is that the strings "marked" with the tr() function
are not read by lupdate..


# mark the "Program &Locations" as translatable
self.actionProgramLocations = QAction( self.tr("&Program &Locations"),
self.iface.mainWindow())


# run lupdate
lupdate my_plugin.pro

but in Qt Lingust "Program &Locations" is not there.. I also looked
inside the file with a text editor but the string isn't there either..

Am I missing something?

Thanks Matthias for your time

Matteo
