Poedit problem Topic is solved

[zhouhao]

Some texts are not correctly shown although I translated them by poedit. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

    const static wxString ITEM1	= _("Item 1");
    const static wxString ITEM2	= _("Item 2");

    wxArrayString CMyClass::Population()
    {
        wxArrayString array;
        array.Add(ITEM1);
        array.Add(ITEM2);
        return array;
    }

The problem is "Item 1" and "Item 2" are shown when I use the string array somewhere in my program. The corresponding translation is never shown. What could be the problem? ( Other texts are correctly translated and shown in my application)

Since you use static wxString constants the compiler generates initialization code that is executed before your program gets the chance to load the po message catalogs. Therefore no translation is available and the strings remain untranslated.

You have to mark such strings using wxTRANSLATE() instead of _(), so that poEdit collects them, and use the function ::wxGetTranslation() to translate the strings at the places in your program where you use them.

See the wxWidgets documentation for further explanations:
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.8/wx_string ... xtranslate and
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.8/wx_string ... ranslation.
