How to change locale?

[Sasler]

I'm trying to change the the locale for my app, in order to show correctly the date and to have consistent decimal symbol. I've tried to use QLocale::setDefault(QLocale::English, QLocale::UnitedStates) but I get "no matching function" error. What am I missing? Or is there a better way to do it?

Thanks

void QLocale::setDefault ( const QLocale & locale )

Yes, that is exactly what I'm trying to use, but I get an error. I must be missing something.

This is probably because you are passing enums, while the function expects a locale object.

This should work (although I haven't tested it):

QLocale::setDefault(QLocale(QLocale::English, QLocale::UnitedStates));

Good luck with you app!

Thanks, it works without errors now.

The only problem is that it doesn't seem to affect the language format of the date. It does how ever change the decimal symbol.

It works fine for me

#include <QtCore>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    for (int i = 1 ; i < QLocale::LastLanguage; i++) {
        QLocale::setDefault(QLocale((QLocale::Language)i));
        QLocale newLocale;
        qDebug() << newLocale.name()
                 << newLocale.dateFormat();
    }
}
