    Description

      On most applications it is possible to override the system language by running

      defaults write com.example.application AppleLanguages '("language")'

      qlocale_mac.mm calls CFPreferencesCopyValue with kCFPreferencesAnyApplication which ignores any application specific settings, it would be nice if kCFPreferencesCurrentApplication was used instead/in addition to kCFPreferencesAnyApplication.
      This affects the output of QLocale::system().uiLanguages()
