What version of Qt is supposed to be in 11.10?

  • 772

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10. In distrowatch the version of Qt is 4.7.4. In installation is 4.7.4 too. But I think it's not the real Qt 4.7.4! Because there is no Persian translation in /usr/share/qt4/translation. In archlinux everything is ok but in Ubuntu Qt looks to be 4.7.3 :-/

11.10

    No, it's not incorrect. It is in fact 4:4.7.4-0ubuntu8. The source package is qt4-x11 and the corresponding Launchpad page lists the version number.

    What you are missing is the translation file for a specific language. The language files are from the libqtcore4 package. Just to make sure Ubuntu did not drop a language by mistake, we can try looking at the Debian version of this package. For comparison:

    Additionally the source code contains a translations directory, where the language files are located. There is an interesting statement in the README file:

    The French, German, and Simplified Chinese translation files are supported by Qt. All other translations are contributed by third parties. These are provided without guarantees and may disappear from future Qt releases.

    If any translation files are missing from package, they might not be officially supported.

    (I've checked the Arch Linux version of the package. There are indeed more translation files: 30. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. My bet is to „borrow” the ones you need.)
