[SailfishDevel] How to translate (lupdate) ?

[Erik Lundin]

Hi,

Sorry to reply to this old thread, but I found that it worked to simply 
set the lupdate executable to /usr/bin/lupdate-qt4 (installed via the 
packet manager).

Some kind of fix to the SDK (and documentation) would be welcome. I 
think it should be easy to write localized apps using the SDK out of the 
box.
