    <p>I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. If it is not, please redirect me to a more suitable forum.</p> <p>I am trying to understand the format of a Qt Linguist TS file. I have modified a file and when I try to open it I get the error message "Duplicate messages found in ...". The file contains indeed one context with two messages that have</p> <ul> <li>the same source</li> <li>a location with the same file name but different line numbers</li> <li>different translation</li> </ul> <p>Here is the source code of a minimal file that gives this error:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE TS&gt; &lt;TS version="2.0" language="es"&gt; &lt;context&gt; &lt;name&gt;MyContext&lt;/name&gt; &lt;message&gt; &lt;location filename="../../../../../MyFile.cpp" line="605"/&gt; &lt;source&gt;Delete&lt;/source&gt; &lt;translatorcomment&gt;Menu option&lt;/translatorcomment&gt; &lt;translation type="unfinished"&gt;&amp;amp;Borrar&lt;/translation&gt; &lt;/message&gt; &lt;message&gt; &lt;location filename="../../../../../MyFile.cpp" line="1572"/&gt; &lt;source&gt;Delete&lt;/source&gt; &lt;translation&gt;Eliminar&lt;/translation&gt; &lt;/message&gt; &lt;/context&gt; &lt;/TS&gt; </code></pre> <p>To my knowledge, each message is identified by context, source and location so this should not be a problem because the line numbers are different. Notice also that you cannot combine the two message elements into one, because they contain different translation texts.</p> <p>So it is not clear to me what can cause the error message. I am using Qt version 4.6.2. I have looked in the following documents: <a href="http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/linguist-translators.html" rel="nofollow">Qt Linguist Manual: Translator</a>, <a href="http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/linguist-programmers.html" rel="nofollow">Qt Linguist Manual: Programmers</a>, <a href="http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/linguist-ts-file-format.html" rel="nofollow">Linguist TS file format</a>, but in none of them I have found the information I am looking for, namely how each message is identified and what could cause the error message in Qt Linguist.</p> <p>If you do not know the answer to this question, a link to further, more detailed information on the TS format would also be helpful.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p> <p>I have found out that by using the optional tag TS/context/message/comment it is possible to have different translation texts for the same context/message/source, e.g.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE TS&gt; &lt;TS version="2.0" language="es"&gt; &lt;context&gt; &lt;name&gt;MyContext&lt;/name&gt; &lt;message&gt; &lt;location filename="../../../../../MyFile.cpp" line="605"/&gt; &lt;source&gt;Delete&lt;/source&gt; &lt;comment&gt;Comment 1&lt;/comment&gt; &lt;translatorcomment&gt;Menu option&lt;/translatorcomment&gt; &lt;translation type="unfinished"&gt;&amp;amp;Borrar&lt;/translation&gt; &lt;/message&gt; &lt;message&gt; &lt;location filename="../../../../../MyFile.cpp" line="1572"/&gt; &lt;source&gt;Delete&lt;/source&gt; &lt;comment&gt;Comment 2&lt;/comment&gt; &lt;translation&gt;Eliminar&lt;/translation&gt; &lt;/message&gt; &lt;/context&gt; &lt;/TS&gt; </code></pre> <p>The above file can be opened without errors.</p> <p>This seems to solve my problem but it would be good to have some precise documentation about this format.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
