Hi, I am working on a german windows 2000 workstation and wanted to try out a little application that I have written for our company. I had created translation files and wanted to load them at startup but realised they were not loaded. After putting in debug print statements I found out that the locale returned is "C" -- the fallback default locale -- as opposed to "de" which should be the case since this is a german windows installation. Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong? May it be a windows 2000 issue?

Qt Code: 
  1. #include <QApplication>
  2. #include <QDebug>
  3. #include <QLocale>
  4. #include <QTranslator>
  5. #include "pollmonitor.h"
  6. #include "mainwindow.h"
  7.  
  8. #include <iostream> // DEBUG
  9.  
  10. int main(int argc, char* argv[])
  11. {
  12.     QApplication app(argc, argv);
  13.     app.connect(&app, SIGNAL(lastWindowClosed()), &app, SLOT(quit()));
  14.  
  15.     // Settings
  16.     QCoreApplication::setOrganizationName("MLHB");
  17.     QCoreApplication::setOrganizationDomain("mlhb.de");
  18.     QCoreApplication::setApplicationName("Hygiene-Befund");
  19.  
  20.     // Translations
  21.     QString locale = QLocale::system().name();
  22.     qDebug() << locale; // DEBUG
  23.  
  24.     QTranslator appTranslator;
  25.     QTranslator qtTranslator;
  26.     QString appTranslation = app.applicationDirPath()
  27.             + "/../translations/" + QString("dirmon_" + locale + ".qm");
  28.     QString qtTranslation = app.applicationDirPath()
  29.             + "/../translations/" + QString("qt_" + locale + ".qm");
  30.  
  31.     // Load App Translation file
  32.     bool b;
  33.     b = appTranslator.load(appTranslation);
  34.     if (!b)
  35.        qDebug() << app.tr("couldn't load translation file %1").arg(appTranslation).toLatin1();
  36.  
  37.     // Load Qt Translation file
  38.     b = qtTranslator.load(qtTranslation);
  39.     if (!b)
  40.        qDebug() << app.tr("couldn't load translation file %1").arg(qtTranslation);
  41.  
  42.     app.installTranslator(&appTranslator);
  43.     app.installTranslator(&qtTranslator);
  44.  
  45.     // Main Window
  46.     MainWindow mw;
  47.     mw.show();
  48.     return app.exec();
  49. }
