Qt .ts

The Qt toolkit uses a .ts file format to store translations which are traditionally edited using Qt Linguist.

The format is XML and seems to only have been documented properly in Qt 4.3

• DTD Specification: Qt 4.3
• http://svn.ez.no/svn/ezcomponents/trunk/Translation/docs/linguist-format.txt

• Context
• Message: status (unfinished, finished), source, translation

• Compliance with above DTD
• byte: within various text areas
• translation: obsolete (currently handled with comments in conversion to PO. But should be able to convert Obsolete PO back into obsolete TS. This might mean moving this format properly onto the base class).

These might work but need validation

• Encoding handling for non-UTF-8 file encodings
