QT_DEPLOY_TRANSLATIONS_DIR

Prefix-relative subdirectory for deploying Qt translations on some target platforms.

This variable is defined by the script named by QT_DEPLOY_SUPPORT. It should only be used as part of deployment during installation or a post-build rule.

Note: This is a low-level deployment API variable, and should only be used in advanced use-cases that are not covered by the higher-level API commands, like qt_generate_deploy_app_script.

This variable was introduced in Qt 6.5.

Projects should use QT_DEPLOY_TRANSLATIONS_DIR in their deploy scripts to avoid hard-coding a particular directory under which to deploy translations.

QT_DEPLOY_TRANSLATIONS_DIR defaults to the value translations. To change the value of QT_DEPLOY_TRANSLATIONS_DIR, set it in the project deployment script before QT_DEPLOY_SUPPORT is included.

The QT_DEPLOY_TRANSLATIONS_DIR path is relative to QT_DEPLOY_PREFIX.

This variable is not meaningful when deploying on macOS or Windows.

Example

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16...3.22)
project(MyThings)

# The following CMAKE_INSTALL_*DIR variables are used to initialize their
# QT_DEPLOY_*_DIR counterparts.
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_BINDIR "mybindir")
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR "mylibdir")
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR "mylibexecdir")

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core)
qt_standard_project_setup()

qt_add_executable(MyApp main.cpp)

set(deploy_script "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/deploy_MyApp.cmake")
file(GENERATE OUTPUT ${deploy_script} CONTENT "

set(QT_DEPLOY_PLUGINS_DIR \"mypluginsdir\")
set(QT_DEPLOY_QML_DIR \"myqmldir\")
set(QT_DEPLOY_TRANSLATIONS_DIR \"i18n\")

include(\"${QT_DEPLOY_SUPPORT}\")

qt_deploy_runtime_dependencies(
    EXECUTABLE \"\${QT_DEPLOY_BIN_DIR}/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:MyApp>\"
