qTsConverter

This tool was born to convert .ts file of Qt translation in other format more editable using an office suite.

Features

• conversion .ts -> .csv (and vice-versa)
• conversion .ts -> .xlsx (and vice-versa)
• automatically detect conversion type
• convert multiple file in input

Usage (GUI version)

• browse input filename (or multiple input)
• choose output filename (or folder in case of multi input)
• click convert button

To generate output.csv

Usage (CLI version)

You can check the version with qTsConverter --version.

Perform a conversion:

qTsConverter ../../tests/files/scenario_multiline.ts ./lol.csv

To create an excelfile without version information / without file locations, the cli can be invoked with two command line switches.

qTsConverter --no-version --no-location ../../tests/files/scenario_multiline.ts ./lol.xlsx

Build

Simple build

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Simple build only CLI

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_CLI:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/guerra/Qt/5.15.2/gcc_64/ ..
cmake --build .

Linux

Compile from source and install:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/guerinoni/qTsConverter.git
$ cd scripts/
$ ./compile.sh
$ cd ../../build
$ sudo make install

If qTsConverter was installed with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local (like compile.sh does) the shell variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH should contain /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin should be in the PATH variable. This allows to locate libraries that qTsConverter depends on and run it from any path.

To be able to open the output file and the output directory, xdg-mime must be set for the following filetypes:

• application/excel
• application/csv
• text/csv
• text/xml

For example:

xdg-mime default libreoffice-calc.desktop application/csv

Windows

Compile from source and install:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -S . -B build_win_release
cmake --build build_win_release --parallel --config Release

As Administrator

cmake --install build_win_release
