When I declare a translatable string with QCoreApplication::translate() without plural, such as :

QCoreApplication::translate("Context", "[A] removed [B] item(s)");

the string is correctly detected my Qt5 Linguist after running lupdate.

When I declare the same string using plurals, such as :

QCoreApplication::translate("Context", "[A] removed %n item(s)", "", static_cast<int>(items));

the string is not detected anymore my lupdate.

This doesn't apply to the use of tr() calls, their plurals are correctly reported my lupdate.

CodePudding user response：

The issue is the static_cast<>. Moving the cast to a separate line resolved the issue :

int itemsAsInt = static_cast<int>(items);
QCoreApplication::translate("Context", "[A] removed %n item(s)", "", itemsAsInt);
