Qt applications cannot find qt translations

[sikmir]

Describe the bug
If qt application uses QLibraryInfo::location(QLibraryInfo::TranslationsPath) (see docs) to get location of qt translations, it will get /nix/store/n2zczzqp7dwc2kmf3s82wymw08asdhi6-qtbase-5.12.7/translations, while qt translations actually live in separate derivation /nix/store/725gncv0pvf9izasn55w5mcv8f6bcx3n-qttranslations-5.12.7/translations.

This might be an issue triggered by wrapping.

[ttuegel]

This is caused by our multi-derivation Qt build, that is by building each module as a separate package. However, I suspect it's even worse: that applications may not find their own translations, which won't be at the (read-only) QLibraryInfo::TranslationPath.

Applications find their own translations by:

QStandardPaths::locate(QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation, "translations", QStandardPaths::LocateDirectory)

And that's OK.
