.QPH - Qt Phrase Book (Strings)

Qt Phrase Book is an XML-based file format used by Qt Linguists to populate pre-translated content. Its unit element is <phrase> with a nesting <source> and a <target> element.

Qt Phrase Book (.QPH) is different from Qt Translation Source (.TS) in that .QPH is a glossary while .TS is an exchange file format. .TS is used by Qt applications to load localized content into the software, while .QPH serves as a termbase in Qt Linguist.
