Working with gettext and Qt4

[Leopold Palomo Avellaneda]

Hi,

first of all I hope that this list is the correct place to post a message of 
gettext. I have found in several places about the <address@hidden> 
list, but I have not be able to find it.

I'm developing some application using Qt. I don't like the Qtlinguist (is not 
good) and I would prefer to use gettext. To accomplish it, I know that 
there's two ways to do it:

1) use the Qt way, but generate the pot files with xgettext and then produce 
the qm file from the po with msgfmt --qt option. This way is showed in the 
hello-c++-qt example.

2) Develop some code and embed some transform from the gettext return to the 
QString class. This way, is how kde works, I think.

Some months I interchange some mails with Bruno Haible with point me some 
about it, because I couldn't accomplish the 1 way.

Now, I have dedicated some time to it and I'm pretty sure that msgfmt _only_ 
produces good qm files for the qt3.x not for qt4.

I have copied a qt4 example, I have extracted the messages and generated the 
qm file and it doesn't work. 

Also, some of you have tested it with qt4? The hello-c++-qt _only_ works with 
qt3.

So, please, could you confirm it? 
and if yes, 
please, could you fix it?, or simple, add a line to the documentation telling 
that it only works with qt3 and qt4 is not supported.

I'm open to send an example, code, etc to try to solve it. But, maybe no one 
has interest in it, and it doesn't worsewhile to spend time trying to solve 
this bug.

Best regards,

Leo
