QLocale::QLocale(const QLocale &other)

Constructs a QLocale object as a copy of other.

QLocale::QLocale(QLocale::Language language, QLocale::Script script, QLocale::Country country)

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified language, script and country.

• If the language/script/country is found in the database, it is used.
• If both script is AnyScript and country is AnyCountry, the language is used with the most appropriate available script and country (for example, Germany for German),
• If either script is AnyScript or country is AnyCountry, the language is used with the first locale that matches the given script and country.
• If neither the language nor the country are found, QLocale defaults to the default locale (see setDefault()).

The language, script and country that are actually used can be queried using language(), script() and country().

See also setDefault(), language(), script(), and country().

QLocale::QLocale(QLocale::Language language, QLocale::Country country = AnyCountry)

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified language and country.

• If the language/country pair is found in the database, it is used.
• If the language is found but the country is not, or if the country is AnyCountry, the language is used with the most appropriate available country (for example, Germany for German),
• If neither the language nor the country are found, QLocale defaults to the default locale (see setDefault()).

The language and country that are actually used can be queried using language() and country().

See also setDefault(), language(), and country().

QLocale::QLocale(const QString &name)

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified name, which has the format "language[_script][_country][.codeset][@modifier]" or "C", where:

• language is a lowercase, two-letter, ISO 639 language code (also some three-letter codes),
• script is a titlecase, four-letter, ISO 15924 script code,
• country is an uppercase, two-letter, ISO 3166 country code (also "419" as defined by United Nations),
• and codeset and modifier are ignored.

The separator can be either underscore '_' (U+005F, "low line") or a dash '-' (U+002D, "hyphen-minus").

If the string violates the locale format, or language is not a valid ISO 639 code, the "C" locale is used instead. If country is not present, or is not a valid ISO 3166 code, the most appropriate country is chosen for the specified language.

The language, script and country codes are converted to their respective Language, Script and Country enums. After this conversion is performed, the constructor behaves exactly like QLocale(Country, Script, Language).

This constructor is much slower than QLocale(Country, Script, Language).

See also bcp47Name().

QLocale::QLocale()

Constructs a QLocale object initialized with the default locale. If no default locale was set using setDefault(), this locale will be the same as the one returned by system().

See also setDefault().

QLocale &QLocale::operator=(const QLocale &other)

Assigns other to this QLocale object and returns a reference to this QLocale object.

QLocale::~QLocale()

Destructor

QString QLocale::amText() const

Returns the localized name of the "AM" suffix for times specified using the conventions of the 12-hour clock.

See also pmText().

QString QLocale::bcp47Name() const

Returns the dash-separated language, script and country (and possibly other BCP47 fields) of this locale as a string.

Unlike the uiLanguages() the returned value of the bcp47Name() represents the locale name of the QLocale data but not the language the user-interface should be in.

This function tries to conform the locale name to BCP47.

See also language(), country(), script(), and uiLanguages().

[static] QLocale QLocale::c()

Returns a QLocale object initialized to the "C" locale.

This locale is based on en_US but with various quirks of its own, such as simplified number formatting and its own date formatting. It implements the POSIX standards that describe the behavior of standard library functions of the "C" programming language.

Among other things, this means its collation order is based on the ASCII values of letters, so that (for case-sensitive sorting) all upper-case letters sort before any lower-case one (rather than each letter's upper- and lower-case forms sorting adjacent to one another, before the next letter's two forms).

See also system().

[since 5.13] QLocale QLocale::collation() const

Returns the locale to use for collation.

The result is usually this locale; however, the system locale (which is commonly the default locale) will return the system collation locale. The result is suitable for passing to QCollator's constructor.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.13.

See also QCollator.

QLocale::Country QLocale::country() const

Returns the country of this locale.

See also language(), script(), countryToString(), and bcp47Name().

QString QLocale::currencySymbol(QLocale::CurrencySymbolFormat format = CurrencySymbol) const

Returns a currency symbol according to the format.

QString QLocale::dateFormat(QLocale::FormatType format = LongFormat) const

Returns the date format used for the current locale.

If format is LongFormat, the format will be elaborate, otherwise it will be short. For example, LongFormat for the en_US locale is dddd, MMMM d, yyyy, ShortFormat is M/d/yy.

See also QDate::toString() and QDate::fromString().

QString QLocale::dateTimeFormat(QLocale::FormatType format = LongFormat) const

Returns the date time format used for the current locale.

If format is LongFormat, the format will be elaborate, otherwise it will be short. For example, LongFormat for the en_US locale is dddd, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss AP t, ShortFormat is M/d/yy h:mm AP.

See also QDateTime::toString() and QDateTime::fromString().

QString QLocale::dayName(int day, QLocale::FormatType type = LongFormat) const

Returns the localized name of the day (where 1 represents Monday, 2 represents Tuesday and so on), in the format specified by type.

For example, if the locale is en_US and day is 1, LongFormat will return Monday, ShortFormat Mon, and NarrowFormat M.

See also monthName() and standaloneDayName().

QString QLocale::decimalPoint() const

[since 5.10] QString QLocale::formattedDataSize(qint64 bytes, int precision = 2, QLocale::DataSizeFormats format = DataSizeIecFormat) const

Converts a size in bytes to a human-readable localized string, comprising a number and a quantified unit. The quantifier is chosen such that the number is at least one, and as small as possible. For example if bytes is 16384, precision is 2, and format is DataSizeIecFormat (the default), this function returns "16.00 KiB"; for 1330409069609 bytes it returns "1.21 GiB"; and so on. If format is DataSizeIecFormat or DataSizeTraditionalFormat, the given number of bytes is divided by a power of 1024, with result less than 1024; for DataSizeSIFormat, it is divided by a power of 1000, with result less than 1000. DataSizeIecFormat uses the new IEC standard quantifiers Ki, Mi and so on, whereas DataSizeSIFormat uses the older SI quantifiers k, M, etc., and DataSizeTraditionalFormat abuses them.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.

QString QLocale::groupSeparator() const

Returns the group separator character of this locale.

See also decimalPoint() and toString().

Returns the language and country of this locale as a string of the form "language_country", where language is a lowercase, two-letter ISO 639 language code, and country is an uppercase, two- or three-letter ISO 3166 country code.

Note that even if QLocale object was constructed with an explicit script, name() will not contain it for compatibility reasons. Use bcp47Name() instead if you need a full locale name.

See also QLocale(), language(), script(), country(), and bcp47Name().

d = c.toDouble(u"1,234.56", &ok); // ok == true,  d == 1234.56
d = c.toDouble(u"1234,56", &ok);  // ok == false, d == 0

QLocale german(QLocale::German);
d = german.toDouble(u"1234,56", &ok);  // ok == true,  d == 1234.56
d = german.toDouble(u"1.234,56", &ok); // ok == true,  d == 1234.56
d = german.toDouble(u"1234.56", &ok);  // ok == false, d == 0

d = german.toDouble(u"1.234", &ok);    // ok == true,  d == 1234.0
