Translation from .po file not applying
-
Hey fellow translators,
for some reason I can't get any translation to work for my app: https://gitlab.com/lkroll/nostrut.
Someone contributed a Dutch translation via a .po file but it is not applied in the app.
I also tried adding a German translation myself and the same thing happens.When I try launching the app with clickable in another language it is still in English:
clickable desktop --lang nl_NLFrom what I can tell the .mo files are being installed in the correct place:
-- Installing: /home/lennart/Git/GitLab/nostrut/build/x86_64-linux-gnu/app/install/share/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/nostrut.lkroll.mo -- Installing: /home/lennart/Git/GitLab/nostrut/build/x86_64-linux-gnu/app/install/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/nostrut.lkroll.moMaybe there is an error on my end and the translation works, but the weird thing is for my other app (https://gitlab.com/lkroll/lighthouse-control) I do not have this problem and my German translation works as expected.
Can someone enlighten me here?

After asking in the telegram app dev group I found out that the error was caused by not specifying the property applicationName inside of the MainView. Because of that the gettext domain was set to an empty string, which prevented the translations from getting loaded.
