QLocale::name and QLocale::bcp47Name outputs are incorrect on non-English system

      A minimal reprodcer:

      # This Python file uses the following encoding: utf-8
import sys
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PySide6.QtCore import QLocale

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    locale = QLocale.system()
    print(locale.bcp47Name())
    print(locale.name())
    sys.exit(app.exec())

      On, for example, Japanese system, the outputs are still en-JP and en_JP. The C++ APIs output ja and ja_JP, which is correct. Also, PySide6 on Windows outputs the correct names, i.e. ja and ja_JP. So in short, PySide6 on macOS does not handle locales correctly.

      BTW, a more straightforward test:

      locale.language()

      returns Language.English for Japanese macOS.
