QT_EXCLUDE_FROM_TRANSLATION

This property was introduced in Qt 6.7.

Set this directory property to ON to exclude all targets in the directory and its subdirectories from translation. The command qt_collect_translation_source_targets will skip such targets.

To exclude a single target, use the target property QT_EXCLUDE_FROM_TRANSLATION.

Examples

In the following example, translatable strings will not be extracted from targets that are defined in the tests directory.

add_subdirectory(app)
add_subdirectory(tests)
set_property(DIRECTORY tests PROPERTY QT_EXCLUDE_FROM_TRANSLATION ON)
qt_add_translations(myapp)

Alternatively, you can set the directory property in the CMakeLists.txt of the tests subdirectory.

# tests/CMakeLists.txt
qt_add_executable(...)
add_test(...)
set_directory_properties(PROPERTIES QT_EXCLUDE_FROM_TRANSLATION ON)
