Not sure if this is a configuration thing, or if it's something to do with how we build mplayer / mpv -- or if the qt gui just doesn't pull in the macOS video correctly...

There's a configuration option IIRC that determines this. But it still
could be the build.

If properly built, Qt translations go in
/opt/local/usr/share/locale/<lang code>/LC_MESSAGES/<name of app>_qt.qm
, usually.

find /opt/local/share -iname '*.qm'

These two ports (smtube / smplayer) are supposed to work together, but they weren't anticipating being born as macOS bundles -- so - have to write up an applescript or osa script or something I guess to launch them as bundles -- or maybe symlink the binaries into ${prefix}/bin/  if they can be happy that way.

The code should be modified to use LSOpenFromURLSpec() when launching
app bundles. There does not seem to be a Qt way to do this. You could
use `QProcess::startDetached("open ...");`

The code way is like so:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/1441986-lsopenfromurlspec?language=objc

LSLaunchURLSpec spec;
spec.appURL = CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(NULL,
CFSTR("/Applications/.../smplayer.app"), kCFURLPOSIXPathStyle, true);
spec.itemURLs = CFArrayCreate(NULL, &values, 1, NULL); // where values
is CFArrayRef of CFURLRefs

LSOpenFromURLSpec(spec, NULL);

CFRelease(spec.appURL);
CFRelease(spec.itemURLs);
