[SailfishDevel] QML translations don't work

[Yann Georg Buechau]

Hey Osmo,

Thanks very much for the hint with the context. I was not using 
lupdate/lconvert because I don't like the dependency on QT for the build 
environment. I used xgettext but did not handle the context. I am now 
using qsTranslate, specifying the context explicitly and telling 
xgettext with the option -kqsTranslate:1c,2 to include the context. Now 
everything works. Thank you!!!

Cheers,

Yann

If you happened to copy the Pan Transit style of converting gettext po-files to Qt linguist files, then the context will be empty. I use the following helper function for QML translations: https://github.com/otsaloma/pan-transit/blob/master/qml/pan-transit.qml#L40
