QTCreator and VisualStudio Code compilation with CMake

I have a problem concerning the compilation of a program. I don't know why the same CMakeLists.txt is compiling in QTcreator and not in Visual Studio. I am using the exact same compiler which is MinGW for Windows. I have read the documentation, it compiles well EXCEPT if use a translation file untitled_fr_FR.ts.

Please see the CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------    
# I ADD THIS ONE TO COMPILE IN VSCODE AS ASKED IN THE DOCUMENTATION
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH} "C:\\Qt\\5.15.0\\mingw81_64")
#---------------------------------------------------------------------

project(untitled LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Widgets LinguistTools REQUIRED)

set(TS_FILES untitled_fr_FR.ts)

  add_executable(untitled
    main.cpp
    mainwindow.cpp
    mainwindow.h
    mainwindow.ui
    ${TS_FILES}
  )

target_link_libraries(untitled PRIVATE Qt5::Widgets)

qt5_create_translation(QM_FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} ${TS_FILES})

This code works well in QTCreator but gives me this error in VSCode:

[main] Building folder: untitled 
[build] Starting build
[proc] Executing command: "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.EXE" --build c:/Users/remi/Desktop/ok/untitled/build --config Debug --target all -- -j 6
[build] [ 16%] Automatic MOC and UIC for target untitled
[build] [ 16%] Built target untitled_autogen
[build] mingw32-make.exe[2]: *** No rule to make target '../', needed by '../untitled_fr_FR.ts'.  Stop.
[build] mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [CMakeFiles\Makefile2:95: CMakeFiles/untitled.dir/all] Error 2
[build] mingw32-make.exe: *** [Makefile:103: all] Error 2
[build] Build finished with exit code 2

***** No rule to make target '../', needed by '../untitled_fr_FR.ts'.  Stop.**

How can I solve this one? How can I figure out what QTCreator is changing in the CMake file/env to compile the .ts file?

Thanks a lot for your help, hope I'm clear and I don't bother you.

The best way to include translation is not using this method. The CMakeLists.txt to compile the program is :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------    
# I ADD THIS ONE TO COMPILE IN VSCODE AS ASKED IN THE DOCUMENTATION
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH} "C:\\Qt\\5.15.0\\mingw81_64")
#---------------------------------------------------------------------

project(untitled LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Widgets REQUIRED)

  add_executable(untitled
    main.cpp
    mainwindow.cpp
    mainwindow.h
    mainwindow.ui
  )

target_link_libraries(untitled PRIVATE Qt5::Widgets)

If you want to compile it (out of the Qt environment you will need to use this one :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------    
# I ADD THIS ONE TO COMPILE IN VSCODE AS ASKED IN THE DOCUMENTATION
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH} "C:\\Qt\\5.15.0\\mingw81_64")
#---------------------------------------------------------------------

project(untitled LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOUIC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTORCC ON)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

find_package(Qt5 COMPONENTS Widgets LinguistTools REQUIRED)

set(TS_FILES mainwindow.ts)

  add_executable(untitled
    main.cpp
    mainwindow.cpp
    mainwindow.h
    mainwindow.ui
    ${TS_FILES}
  )

target_link_libraries(untitled PRIVATE Qt5::Widgets)

qt5_create_translation(QM_FILES ${TS_FILES})

And rename untitled_fr_FR.ts in mainwindow.ts
