I'm writing a manual for translators and can't find an easy and official way of Qt Linguist editor distribution. It looks like you can get it for Linux by downloading qttools5-dev-tools
package. But for other systems?
Qt5 online installer doesn't seems to provide a separate Linguist component to download and I'm not sure if it's a part of QtCreator component. It's not feasible to force translators to install whole Qt framework bundle or even IDE to get it. I expected to find some Qt5 libraries redistributable+ Qt Linguist app + manuals in one package, but don't see any on qt.io.
Any recommendations?
Qt Linguist is a tool for adding translations to Qt applications. Once you have installed Qt, you can start Qt Linguist in the same way as any other application on the development host.
To open TS files in Qt Linguist, right-click a TS file in the Projects or File System view and select Open With > Qt Linguist in the context menu.
Qt Linguist is cross-platform stand alone app that enables you to effortlessly translate Qt applications. Qt Linguist comes with an easy to use interface that provides all the necessary tools for a quick and efficient translation process.
Is Qt Creator free? There is an open-source license which is free and a commercial license. The commercial license (Qt creator and Qt SDK) starts at $459/month.
This site has standalone Qt Linguist installers for Windows & macOS
