[SailfishDevel] How to translate (lupdate) ?

[Luciano Montanaro]

In my application I am using just:

   QString locale = QLocale::system().name();
    QTranslator translator;
    if (translator.load(QString("i18n:quandoparte_") + locale)) {
        qDebug() << "Translation for locale" << locale << "loaded";
        a->installTranslator(&translator);
    } else {
        qDebug() << "Translation for locale" << locale << "not found";
    }

Why do I need to check the environment? Isn't QLocale::system() using
it behind the scenes anyway?

Thank you,
Luciano
