There's no way to make that work with MSVC 2010. If you want this to
work,
your options are:
..
..
The only option i seem to have left for 2010 are apparently:
- Making sure the source files are UTF-8 formatted (most is ascii at the
moment)
- Using tr("Coördinaat"); as opposed to tr("Co\u00F6rdinaat");, that
does work, but is not preferred.
Actually it's possible to use unicode code points in tr(...) you just
have to know how to play hardball with the compiler :-)
Instead of trying to play nice with tr("Co\u00F6rdinaat"); you use
tr("Co\xC3\xB6rdinaat");
Yes \uC3B6 is the UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode code point U+00F6
(if you type in tr("Coördinaat") and then hexdump the .exe file you'll
see those bytes.)
Effectively you're saying to the compiler: don't mind us hex bytes
passing, we're not the unicode characters you're looking for. This works
as long as none of the 2, 3 or 4 UTF-8 characters are null chaps.
I've used this trick on MSVC2012 and MSVC2013, so it should work in
MSVC2010 as well. (The reason: usually I code (Swedish) characters with
tr("Coöordinaat"); but this is brittle, because then Notepad becomes
your enemy. If you're tired one day and make a quick edit in Notepad on
your mainwindow.cpp, Notepad "helps" your by inserting the BOM and
*BOOM* tr("Coördinaat") does not longer compile correctly, but
tr("Co\xC3\xB6rdinaat") does.)
