QLocale detects system language incorrectly on Windows with language pack installed

Violet Giraffe

I am attempting to detect current system language with QLocale:
@QLocale::Language sysLangId = QLocale::system().language();@

However, it's not working correctly. I'm on Russian Windows 7 with English language pack applied, but language() returns Russian instead of English. Is there any workaround?

Maybe
@QStringList QLocale::uiLanguages() const@

works for you.
I think the Qt developers have problems with that, too. At least with their installers.

I thought it will list all the languages registered in my system, i. e. Russian and English in my case. Will try, thanks.

Yes but the docs say they are prioritized. I hope(d) that would bring up English in your case.
