QLocale().toString in french canadian

Mwoua

Hello,
i'm translating my app and trying to display number in the locale of the user. So I use

QLocale().toString( aValue, 'f', mDecimals )

If the locale is
QLocale( QLocale::French, QLocale::France ) the numbers are displayed correctly ( colon before the decimals), however, its the locale is QLocale( QLocale::French, QLocale::Canada), the numbers are displayed using english settings. Is this a bug or am I misusing the toString function?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you show how you create the QLocale object and use the numbers with it ?

Hi, I keep the default locale, so its just like the example in my previous post (aValue is a float or a double) :

QLocale().toString( aValue, 'f', mDecimals )

or

QLocale().toString( aValue )

Right now, i'm using this as a workaround :

if( QLocale().language() == QLocale::French )
{
    QLocale lLocale = QLocale( QLocale::French, QLocale::France ) ;
    QLocale::setDefault( lLocale );
}

I have twice the same result when doing:

qDebug() << QLocale(QLocale::French, QLocale::France).toString(12.21, 'f', 3);
qDebug() << QLocale(QLocale::French, QLocale::Canada).toString(12.21, 'f', 3);

return the same output.

What exact version of Qt, OS and compiler are you using ?

Sorry for the delay, I was in hollyday.

Qt5.7, windows 7, msvc 2013

EDIT :
I did a bit more testing.

qDebug() << QLocale(QLocale::French, QLocale::France).toString(12.21, 'f', 3);
qDebug() << QLocale(QLocale::French, QLocale::Canada).toString(12.21, 'f', 3);

Works fine.

However,

auto a = QLocale().countryToString( QLocale().country() ); //Canada
auto b = QLocale().languageToString( QLocale().language() ); //French
QLocale().toString( 6.3, 'f', 1 ); // => 6.3

Doesnt work and

auto a = QLocale().countryToString( QLocale().country() ); //France
auto b = QLocale().languageToString( QLocale().language() ); //French
QLocale().toString( 6.3, 'f', 1 ); // => 6,3

works correctly
