QMessageBox change text of standard button

Question

I want to use QMessageBox.Question for the icon. But i want to change the text of standard buttons. I do not want the text of buttons to be the "Yes" and "No". I want them to be "Evet" and "Iptal". Here my codes.

choice = QtGui.QMessageBox.question(self, 'Kaydet!',
                                    'Kaydetmek İstediğinize Emin Misiniz?',
                                    QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes | QtGui.QMessageBox.No)

Actually, now i overcome this problem like this choice = QtGui.QMessageBox.question(self, "Kaydet!", "Kaydetmek İstediğinize Emin Misiniz?", "Evet", button1Text='İptal', defaultButtonNumber=0, escapeButtonNumber=-1) if choice == 0: self.frame_11.show() else: pass — Taylan, Mar 09 '16 at 09:42
That form of QMesageBox::question is both undocumented and commented as obsolete. Still exits as of Qt 5.15.4 but no Guarantee of this even for the next bug fix release much less Qt6 which is now released. — wheredidthatnamecomefrom, Mar 15 '23 at 04:03

To do so you need to create an instance of a QMessageBox and manually change the text of the buttons:

box = QtGui.QMessageBox()
box.setIcon(QtGui.QMessageBox.Question)
box.setWindowTitle('Kaydet!')
box.setText('Kaydetmek İstediğinize Emin Misiniz?')
box.setStandardButtons(QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes|QtGui.QMessageBox.No)
buttonY = box.button(QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes)
buttonY.setText('Evet')
buttonN = box.button(QtGui.QMessageBox.No)
buttonN.setText('Iptal')
box.exec_()

if box.clickedButton() == buttonY:
    # YES pressed
elif box.clickedButton() == buttonN:
    # NO pressed

Thank you Daniele, appreciate it – Taylan Mar 09 '16 at 11:20
'no' in QtGui.QMessageBox.no should be capitaized -> QtGui.QMessageBox.No; I cannot edit just one letter, sorry. – BritishSteel May 02 '18 at 11:24
Nice catch! Thanks! – Daniele Pantaleone May 03 '18 at 12:42
Just to complete your customization: `box.setDefaultButton(QtGui.QMessageBox.No)` (or `QtGui.QMessageBox.Yes`, your call) – iperetta Oct 10 '18 at 17:41
The No role condition does not work. If I have to perform a deleteFeature function if the user clicks on the no option.. how to go about it? – rao Jun 18 '20 at 14:02

Qt provides translations for all the built-in strings it uses in its libraries. You just need to install a translator for the current locale:

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)

translator = QtCore.QTranslator(app)
locale = QtCore.QLocale.system().name()
path = QtCore.QLibraryInfo.location(QtCore.QLibraryInfo.TranslationsPath)
translator.load('qt_%s' % locale, path)
app.installTranslator(translator)

You might also want to check other files than 'qt_%s'. For example my Qt installation had empty qt_pl.qm, which failed to load, but qtbase_pl.qm had all translations I wanted. There are other types of translation files in `TranslationsPath` directory as well. – Michał Góral Aug 30 '17 at 06:22
