I started creating a translation of Sigil UI using the recommended way, using Web Tools at https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/sigil/ and it seems to be smooth sailing except for one crucial thing:

The tool generates a .ts file, which seems to be a simple XML file. But Sigil apparently expects .qm files (at least that’s what the

Code:

translations

folder contains), which are presumable compressed binary files. So how do I get convert .ts to .qm, or otherwise test my translation in Sigil? (Just in case it matters, I’m using Windows 7.)
