KI18n searches <QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation>/locale/ for the translation files. So on Windows one of the search paths is <app dir>/data/ locale/ Then the search path would be something like: "<app dir>/data/locale/<lang code>/LC_MESSAGES/<catalog>.mo" > > Does this feature need to look in the /usr/share/locale directory for the > translation files or is it a relative path?

I would assume that the this means "/Library/Application Support/locale/..." in the application bundle. (Note: I don't have a Mac to check with...) /Kåre
