Some background: Eventually, things like QFileDialog are used on win32 instead of KDE counterparts, to give better experience/integration/whatever. In kdelibs/Makefile.am.in there is hardcoded exclusion for translating messages in qfiledialog.cpp and similar files. for file in qfiledialog qcolordialog qprintdialog \ qurloperator qftp qhttp qlocal qerrormessage; do \ grep -v $$file list > list.new && mv list.new list ;\ done ;\ [..] I'd later (because it's not yet tested) come with generating other_qt.pot file for translators. At least win32 could load other_qt.po (explicity, in KApplication_init_windows()). -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek / OpenOffice Polska Kexi project: http://koffice.org/kexi/ http://www.kexi-project.org/ Qt-KDE Wrapper project: http://iidea.pl/~js/qkw/
