QM files store data for application translations. The QM format allows fast data access. Users cannot directly read QM files. To view a QM file in Qt Linguist, first convert it to TS format.
If a QM file does not open, the software may be outdated. Update the application used for opening QM files. Also scan for viruses which can block QM files.
There are many causes of QM file problems: corruption when opening; missing association with a program. Fix issues in these steps:
1. Verify the software correctly opens QM files.
2. Install a program supporting QM files.
You cannot view QM files directly. They are compiled binary not plain text. Convert QM files to view contents in Qt Linguist.
Programs supporting QM files include Qt Creator. Choose software fitting the QM file’s purpose. Open with a program supporting Qt translation format.
