NAME

       lrelease - generate Qt message files from Qt Linguist translation files

SYNOPSIS

       lrelease [ options ] project-file
       lrelease [ options ] ts-files [ -qm qm-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       This page documents the  Qt  Linguist  Release  tool  for  the  Qt  GUI
       toolkit.   Lrelease  reads  a  qmake/tmake project file (.pro file) and
       converts the translation files (.ts files)  specified  in  it  into  Qt
       message files (.qm files) used by the application to translate.

       The  .qm file format is a compact binary format that provides extremely
       fast lookups for translations and that is used by Qt.

OPTIONS

       -help  Display the usage and exit.

       -compress
              Compress the .qm files.

       -nounfinished
              Do not include unfinished translations.

       -removeidentical
              If the translated text is the same as the source  text,  do  not
              include the message.

       -silent
              Do not explain what is being done.

       -version
              Display the version of lrelease and exit.

USAGE

       Here is an example .pro file that can be given to lrelease:

           HEADERS         = funnydialog.h \
                             wackywidget.h
           SOURCES         = funnydialog.cpp \
                             main.cpp \
                             wackywidget.cpp
           FORMS           = fancybox.ui
           TRANSLATIONS    = gnomovision_dk.ts \
                             gnomovision_fi.ts \
                             gnomovision_no.ts \
                             gnomovision_se.ts

       When  running  lrelease  on  this  project  file,  the Qt message files
       gnomovision_dk.qm,     gnomovision_fi.qm,     gnomovision_no.qm     and
       gnomovision_se.qm    will    be   generated   from   gnomovision_dk.ts,
       gnomovision_fi.ts,     gnomovision_no.ts     and     gnomovision_se.ts,
       respectively.

       Lrelease can also be invoked with a list of .ts files to convert:

           lrelease gnomovision_*.ts
