Hello,
I'm using a Mac to develop a Qt application for Raspberry Pi.
In my software I'm doing QString dateCurrentString = dt.toString(QString("ddd dd MMM yyyy"));
so, using "ddd" I'm calling QDate::shortDayName which is a localized function.
The problem is that my software is running fine (with french localized short day name) on my Mac.
But on the Raspberry Pi, I have an english short day name.
I don't know what Qt use to "know" which locale I need.
I tried on the Raspberry Pi to fix it by using raspi-config and set local (with
"change_local" menu) to fr_FR.UTF-8
I verified by using this command line :
$ echo $LANG
fr_FR.UTF-8
but my software is always in english
so maybe I forget to set something else.
Kind regards
Sébastien
Added after 51 minutes:
I started my software after setting this environment variable :
export LC_ALL=$LANG
and now it's working fine...
that's really strange because according to
http://qt-project.org/wiki/QtLocales#b7d015a629ed0732fefdb0ed8e8fd848
On Linux, query() returns only the measurement system by inspecting the LC_MEASUREMENT, LC_ALL and LANG environment variables (in that order).
LC_MEASUREMENT and LC_ALL were empty strings so my software should use LANG... but this doesn't not seem to be the case!
