Thank you very much Raoul, but as I don't have much experience, could you be more specific, using an example based on my code?
Are you saying something like this: QtGui.QPushButton(self.tr(u'&Next >')) self.setWindowTitle(self.tr(u'Setup').arg(len(self.history)).arg(self.num_pages)) self.topTitle = QtGui.QLabel(self.tr(u'<center><b>Warning</center>') self.set_status_text(u'Username', True) label_text = u'Warning' self.top_label = QtGui.QLabel(self.tr(label_text)) Is that what you mean? Putting an "u" before each string? I´m looking some information about unicode and python and in a few pages I saw that is necessary to do something to decode and show this on screen, is that true?
