[SOLVED]: how to print our language direction
-
Hello guys,
i want to print the writing direction associated to a given language as a string
Case 1: workings well
This code outputs the direction =1 for language arabic associated to country Egypt
@
QLocale x(QLocale::Arabic, QLocale::Egypt);
qDebug() << xy << x.textDirection();
@Case 2: if GuiLanguage="Arabic", code outputs 0 .. where is my mistake?
@
QString xy= "QLocale::" + GuiLanguage + ", QLocale::Egypt";
QLocale x(qPrintable(xy));
qDebug() << xy << x.textDirection();

Please read "the documentation":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qlocale.html#QLocale-2. You are using the QLocale's QString constructor as if it was the same one you have used in the first example. This is wrong. C++ is not an interpreted meta-language ;) You could do the second thing with macros, though. Or, in a more decent way, construct the locale name by QString so that it conforms to the format that QLocale expects.

it is not clear to me, could you please give me an example how you would do it?
I know this way, but i want to change the word "Arabic" into "ar_ar" and can not do it@
QString ab="Ar_ar";
QLocale x(ab);
qDebug() << "direction" << x.textDirection();
@Solved it using this method ..

Hi,
This
@
"QLocale::" + GuiLanguage + ", QLocale::Egypt"
@
in your case 2 is not the same as:
@
QLocale::Arabic, QLocale::Egypt
@
It might read the same for you, but the compiler sees first a constructor to create a QLocal with the Language/Country enums set, The second one tries to create a QLocal with a given string. So the string should match the thing you need. So the Ar_ar will be Arabic indeed.
Place [SOLVED] at your first post to stop us from reading please.
