iOS/macOS: system localization always returns english language

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • iOS/tvOS/watchOS, macOS
    • 4709c938db (qt/tqtc-qtbase/dev) c3fd2da7fb (qt/qtbase/6.4) c3fd2da7fb (qt/tqtc-qtbase/6.4), 47c5cbeca (tqtc/lts-5.15), 8ad0a8fe2 (tqtc/lts-5.15)

    Description

      After updating to iOS 11, system localization always returns the English language :

      qDebug() << "QLocal language: " << QLocale::system().language();
qDebug() << "QLocal name: " << QLocale::system().name();

      outputs :

      QLocal language: QLocale::Language(English)
QLocal name: "en_US"

       
      Device localization & region of the device seems to be ignored. E.g. when I set the iOS device language to "French" and region to "France", QLocale returns the above outputs.
