Dynamic translations with substituting arguments

I already expressed the importance of developing localized applications, in particular, using the tools provided by Qt framework for translating strings. From time to time, you'll be dealing with phrases that may include some dynamic text, it is, you likely don't know the exact phrase at translation time. For such situations, you may resort to variables within the phrases.

What SDK fits your needs?

With the recent launch of Nokia Qt SDK Beta developers using Qt framework has now two options about SDKs, just don't forget about the existing Qt SDK.

So are you confused about what SDK to download and install? I'll try to explain what to expect from each of those packages...

Looking for Qt examples? Visit Forum Nokia

As a long time developer using Qt, I'm very used to read Qt documentation and visit Qt website quite often. I'm also a regular reader to Qt Labs, where I can keep myself informed about the latest news regarding what's the Trolls are cooking up, upcoming features and research they're doing. But recently, I discovered Forum Nokia and a bunch of Qt code examples.

MathML editor using Qt support for MathML

I decided to give the MML widget a try to create an example for MathML rendering: display a mathematical formula from the description contained in an XML file. This is a component available from Qt solutions (see my previous post about them) to enhance the by itself long list of classes and modules already available in Qt. For more information about the MathML standard, you may read this MathML introduction

Extending QTranslator

Although internationalization with Qt has very good tools to deal with translations inside an application, I was posed with the requirement to use existing files with proprietary format for the actual translated strings.

Qt Solutions, please help yourself

Are you aware that Nokia has launched Qt Solutions? Please refer to the Qt Solutions Catalog and you'll be surprised about the components and tools available there that can be used along Qt just to improve and enhance the cross-platform applications you develop.

My first contribution to Qt
