Detailed Description#

Warning

QLocale is constructed for a specified language, optional script and territory. It offers various facilities for formatting data as text, localized appropriately, and for reading data out of localized text.

Example:

egyptian = QLocale(QLocale.Arabic, QLocale.Egypt)
s1 = egyptian.toString(1.571429E+07, 'e')
s2 = egyptian.toString(10)
d = egyptian.toDouble(s1)
i = egyptian.toInt(s2)

QLocale supports the concept of a default locale, which is determined from the system’s locale settings at application startup. The default locale can be changed by calling the static member setDefault() . Setting the default locale has the following effects:

  • If a QLocale object is constructed with the default constructor, it will use the default locale’s settings.

  • arg() uses the default locale to format a number when its position specifier in the format string contains an ‘L’, e.g. “%L1”.

The following example illustrates how to use QLocale directly:

ok = bool()
d = float()
QLocale.setDefault(QLocale.C) # uses '.' as a decimal point
QLocale cLocale # default-constructed C locale
d = cLocale.toDouble("1234,56", ok) # ok == false, d == 0
d = cLocale.toDouble("1234.56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
QLocale.setDefault(QLocale.German) # uses ',' as a decimal point
QLocale german # default-constructed German locale
d = german.toDouble("1234,56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
d = german.toDouble("1234.56", ok) # ok == false, d == 0
QLocale.setDefault(QLocale.English)
# Default locale now uses ',' as a group separator.
str = QString("%1 %L2 %L3").arg(12345).arg(12345).arg(12345, 0, 16)
# str == "12345 12,345 3039"

An alternative method for constructing a QLocale object is by specifying the locale name.

korean = QLocale("ko")
swiss = QLocale("de_CH")

This constructor reads the language, script and/or territory from the given name, accepting either uderscore or dash as separator (and ignoring any trailing .codeset or @variant suffix).

Note

For the current keyboard input locale take a look at locale() .

QLocale ‘s data is based on Common Locale Data Repository v42.

Matching combinations of language, script and territory#

QLocale has data, derived from CLDR, for many combinations of language, script and territory, but not all. If it is constructed with all three of these key values specified (treating AnyLanguage, AnyScript or AnyTerritory as unspecified) and QLocale has data for the given combination, this data is used. Otherwise, QLocale does its best to find a sensible combination of language, script and territory, for which it does have data, that matches those that were specified.

The CLDR provides tables of likely combinations, which are used to fill in any unspecified key or keys; if QLocale has data for the result of such a likely combination, that is used. If no language is specified, and none can be determined from script and territory, or if QLocale has no data for the language, the “C” locale (when reading the keys from a string) or default locale (otherwise) is used.

When QLocale has no data for the keys specified, with likely keys filled in where unspecified, but does have data for the resulting language, a fall-back is sought, based on ignoring either territory, script or both (in that order). This results in a QLocale which may not match what was asked for, but provides localization that’s as suitable as the available data permits, for the keys specified.

Use language() , script() and territory() to determine the actual keys used.

Parameters:

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() .

Constructs a QLocale object for the specified language and territory.

If there is more than one script in use for this combination, a likely script will be selected. If QLocale has no data for the specified language, the default locale is used. If QLocale has no data for the specified combination of language and territory, an alternative territory may be used instead.

See also

setDefault() Matching combinations of language, script and territory

Constructs a QLocale object for the specified language, script and territory.

If QLocale does not have data for the given combination, it will find data for as good a match as it can. It falls back on the default locale if

  • language is AnyLanguage and no language can be inferred from script and territory

  • QLocale has no data for the language, either given as language or inferred as above.

See also

setDefault() Matching combinations of language, script and territory

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified name.

The name has the format “language[_script][_territory][.codeset][@modifier]” or “C”, where:

  • language is a lowercase, two-letter, ISO 639 language code (some three-letter codes are also recognized),

  • script is a capitalized, four-letter, ISO 15924 script code,

  • territory is an uppercase, two-letter, ISO 3166 territory code (some numeric codes are also recognized), and

  • codeset and modifier are ignored.

The separator can be either underscore '_' (U+005F, “low line”) or a dash '-' (U+002D, “hyphen-minus”). If QLocale has no data for the specified combination of language, script, and territory, then it uses the most suitable match it can find instead. If the string violates the locale format, or no suitable data can be found for the specified keys, the “C” locale is used instead.

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

PySide6.QtCore.QLocale.NumberOption#

(inherits enum.Flag) This enum defines a set of options for number-to-string and string-to-number conversions. They can be retrieved with numberOptions() and set with setNumberOptions() .

Constant

Description

QLocale.DefaultNumberOptions

This option represents the default behavior, with group separators, with one leading zero in single digit exponents, and without trailing zeroes after the decimal dot.

QLocale.OmitGroupSeparator

If this option is set, the number-to-string functions will not insert group separators in their return values. The default is to insert group separators.

QLocale.RejectGroupSeparator

If this option is set, the string-to-number functions will fail if they encounter group separators in their input. The default is to accept numbers containing correctly placed group separators.

QLocale.OmitLeadingZeroInExponent

If this option is set, the number-to-string functions will not pad exponents with zeroes when printing floating point numbers in scientific notation. The default is to add one leading zero to single digit exponents.

QLocale.RejectLeadingZeroInExponent

If this option is set, the string-to-number functions will fail if they encounter an exponent padded with zeroes when parsing a floating point number in scientific notation. The default is to accept such padding.

QLocale.IncludeTrailingZeroesAfterDot

If this option is set, the number-to-string functions will pad numbers with zeroes to the requested precision in “g” or “most concise” mode, even if the number of significant digits is lower than the requested precision. The default is to omit trailing zeroes.

QLocale.RejectTrailingZeroesAfterDot

If this option is set, the string-to-number functions will fail if they encounter trailing zeroes after the decimal dot when parsing a number in scientific or decimal representation. The default is to accept trailing zeroes.

(inherits enum.IntEnum) This enum defines a constant that can be given as precision to number() , number() , and toString() when converting floats or doubles, in order to express a variable number of digits as precision.

Constant

Description

QLocale.FloatingPointShortest

The conversion algorithm will try to find the shortest accurate representation for the given number. “Accurate” means that you get the exact same number back from an inverse conversion on the generated string representation. In particular, trailing zeros are omitted (from the mantissa, in exponent formats).

PySide6.QtCore.QLocale.amText()#
Return type:

str

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

See also

pmText()

PySide6.QtCore.QLocale.bcp47Name()#
Return type:

str

Returns the BCP47 field names joined with dashes.

This combines as many of language, script and territory (and possibly other BCP47 fields) for this locale as are needed to uniquely specify it. Note that fields may be omitted if the Unicode consortium’s Likely Subtag Rules imply the omitted fields when given those retained. See name() for how to construct a string from individual fields, if some other format is needed.

Unlike uiLanguages() , the value returned by bcp47Name() represents the locale name of the QLocale data; this need not be the language the user-interface should be in.

This function tries to conform the locale name to BCP47.

static PySide6.QtCore.QLocale.c()#
Return type:

PySide6.QtCore.QLocale

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).

Returns an infinity if the conversion overflows or 0.0 if the conversion fails for any other reason (e.g. underflow).

If ok is not None, failure is reported by setting *``ok`` to false, and success by setting *``ok`` to true.

ok = bool()
d = float()
c = QLocale(QLocale.C)
d = c.toDouble(u"1234.56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
d = c.toDouble(u"1,234.56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
d = c.toDouble(u"1234,56", ok) # ok == false, d == 0

d = c.toDouble("1234.56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
d = c.toDouble("1,234.56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
d = c.toDouble("1234,56", ok) # ok == false, d == 0
german = QLocale(QLocale.German)
d = german.toDouble("1234,56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
d = german.toDouble("1.234,56", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.56
d = german.toDouble("1234.56", ok) # ok == false, d == 0
d = german.toDouble("1.234", ok) # ok == true, d == 1234.0

Notice that the last conversion returns 1234.0, because ‘.’ is the thousands group separator in the German locale.

Parameters:
Return type:

str

Returns a localized string representation of the given date in the specified format. If format is an empty string, an empty string is returned.

See also

toString()

PySide6.QtCore.QLocale.toString(f[, format='g'[, precision=6]])
Parameters:

  • f – double

  • format – char

  • precision – int

Return type:

str

This is an overloaded function.

Returns a string representing the floating-point number f.

The form of the representation is controlled by the format and precision parameters.

The format defaults to 'g'. It can be any of the following:

Format

Meaning

Meaning of precision

'e'

format as [-]9.9e[+|-]999

number of digits after the decimal point

'E'

format as [-]9.9E[+|-]999

“

'f'

format as [-]9.9

“

'F'

same as 'f' except for INF and NAN (see below)

“

'g'

use 'e' or 'f' format, whichever is more concise

maximum number of significant digits (trailing zeroes are omitted)

'G'

use 'E' or 'F' format, whichever is more concise

“

The special precision value FloatingPointShortest selects the shortest representation that, when read as a number, gets back the original floating-point value. Aside from that, any negative precision is ignored in favor of the default, 6.

For the 'e', 'f' and 'g' formats, positive infinity is represented as “inf”, negative infinity as “-inf” and floating-point NaN (not-a-number) values are represented as “nan”. For the 'E', 'F' and 'G' formats, “INF” and “NAN” are used instead. This does not vary with locale.
