AW: Change of Application-Language

[Weingarten, Willi, MFI-A]

Hi all,

I tried to change the language of my application during runtime with code
like this:

	
//**************************************************************************
*
	void MesApp::slotSettingsLanguage()
	
//**************************************************************************
*
	{
	  slotStatusMsg(i18n("Changing application language..."));

		if(settingsGerman->isChecked()) {
			KGlobal::locale()->setLanguage("de");
			KMessageBox::information( this, i18n("German
language selected!"));
		}

	if(settingsEnglish->isChecked()) {
		KGlobal::locale()->setLanguage("C");
		KMessageBox::information( this, i18n("English language
selected!"));
	}

	slotStatusMsg(i18n("Ready."));
	}

All outputs being generated from now on will be in the new selected
language, but all text (menubar or widgettext) that was already on the
screen will be in the old language. Is there a way to rebuild, redraw or
update everything on the application screen(s), so that all existing text
elements will be translated to the new language?

Thanks
Willi
