hi,
Sorry for my poor English.
I am using kdevelop3.0.3 on Red Hat 9.0. I include the "kmmanager.h" to use the printing function in my program, and it works well. But I find it could not be translated to the language that I need (I have used linguist which works well in other parts of my program). Can any one help me?
Thanks in advance!

Regards,

e8johan,
Sorry for not being clear because of my lack of English. What I mean in the thread is: I include the "kmmanager.h" in the file so I can initialize and show a printer management dialog where I need in the program. The problem is the dialog is always in its English version even I am in Chinese version of RedHat(for example). I can use the linguist tool to translate the UI of my program to Chinese, and it shows as I suppose when I am in chinese environment. But as for the management dialog it always shows in English, it seems I cant control the language it use.
Is that clear enough? Hope you could understand what I mean.
Anyway, thank you very much for replying !

Regards,

I gonna be absent for holidays. For sure I will be back after a week.
Any reply is welcomed.

As what you have pointed out, the "kmmanager.h" and many other files with the prefix 'k' are not really QT class head files but KDE head files. Then the question is "is it possible to translate the KDE class at run time. The situtation is when I call the dialog on the command line in the shell in my Chinese system, the dialig really shows in Chinese, but when I do the same thing in my application, it dose appear in English.
I have ever load the "qt_de.qm" file found under "/usr/lib/qt-3.3/translation"(there is on Chinese counterpart) at the runtime of my application for a test. The result is the QT class such as QFileDialog dose appear in its German version, but the printer management dialog I need still in English. Faint ~~~,how could it be that !
I have also tried to find the "qm" file used by KDE class,only to fail.
In fact , I am totally loss at sea now.

I really include kprinter.h too. Maybe you could find the kmmanager.h under /usr/include/kde/kdeprint, the head file use kdeprint and kdeprint_management lib. Then what is the "KDE translation mechanism"? Can any one give me some materials or links that can explain it?

The following is quoted from my group's application code.
void MainWindow::slotAddPrinterWizard()
{
KMManager::self()->addPrinterWizard();
}
This slot is connected to a button's click signal, so every time I click the button, an add printer wizard dialog appears. It seems I have to do so if I want to realize this fuction. I find the dialog is always in English, which puzzles me.
Is there another way in which I can complete the same function?

The type of the application is a normal one, and most of the classes involved are QT class. I know there is QPrinter and KPrinter class I can use. The problem is I need to provide an easy way to let the user add a printer rather than using command line or the web service(open the browser and type localhost:631), so I think the add printer wizard is the best choice. I don't know whether you'v tried my code on your machine.
I found the code can work well. If the header is not intended for normal use, how can I compromise?

Thank you for reminding me of this, now I could use the button in the KPrinter dialog to invoke the printer wizard as a substitution. The dialog is a common one that almost every KDE application uses as a interface when user clicks the print button.
Following is the code in my application where I call the dialog. It's very simple.
#include <kprinter.h>
void FileMainWindow::printFile()
{
KPrinter* printer = new KPrinter();
if (printer->setup(this)
{
......
}

}
My OS is redhat 9.0. I use its Chinese version. When I call the dialog in KDE's own application for example KDevelop, it appears to be in Chinese. When I call it in my application as shown above, it's always in English. How to change thisI could do this if I use QT class instead of KDE class.)

From the very beginning of working, the application was designed to be a totally QT one. It only contained QT class until we found the printing fuction QPrinter can give was limited. So we decided to use KPrinter as the main class with CUPS support as it comes with printing fuction.
In that case, you could think it to be a KDE app with QT class in it.
I have read materials about QT translation which I have said in the posts and it seems to work well. The only problem is I can't find Chinese qm file in /usr/lib/qt-3.3/translation as a translation support for all QT class, and the QTranslator object seems not to be able to load two qm file at once(one is the file I created for the app's UI, another is the one I should find in the above directory). Did I do something wrong?
Till now, I am not sure whether it is a KDE app with QT class or QT app with KDE class. Could it be designed like this? And what is the KDE translation system, can any one give me some links to that concept? I find nearly nothing about it on internet, I need information in detail which can teach me step by step for I am really a newbie in this field.
I find a lot of mo file in /usr/share/locale, how to use that? It seems they are used by the OS and not for the application designer.
Thank you very much!

A KDE application started from commandline does have correct translations. The same thing happened to the UI of my application but not the KDE classes I used in it.
Anyway, I will first read the documentation on the website. Thank you very much!
