How to get current application language
-
Hi,
Is there way to get current application language that is set to ?
QLocale and Qt mobility gives only system language but i want to identify what is the current application language set to.
My application set language based on user selection, However to avoid what user has set and store in some variable. If it is possible to get current application language. I would save tiny portion of memory :)

Here is a wiki content with sample codes which should solve your problem:
"How to create a multi lingual application that can switch the language at runtime":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/How_to_create_a_multi_language_application? -
Thanks for the post but i am looking for an API to give me an application language that is set instead of storing it in the application.
However but it seems like there is no API for that and i will have to handle it in my app accordingly.

Just see whether this can help..
@ QString str = loc.languageToString(loc.language());
qDebug() << " String ="<<str << endl;@ -

Thank you Dheerendra, but I don't think that helps.
I'm using QTranslator::load() and QCoreApplication::installTranslator() to translate the menus. But later I'd like to get the loaded language, out of the function that has the locale object.I already have a workaround for this, but I was just wondering if there is a direct way to get this information.

a little trick would be to add a translation for e.g. APP_LANGUAGE to every translation file and to translate it to the language's native name for each.
Then you simply can use
@
QObject::tr("APP_LANGUAGE")

It turns out to be very simple:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28161888/how-to-find-current-qlocale-in-qt-pyqt-pysideJust enter
x=QtCore.QLocale()and then all the QLocale methods apply to x. E.g.,
x.language()That's Python, probably similar in c++

How about managing it logically?
Example: Maintain a member variable called m_currentLanguage to contain the information about current language and refer it whenever required.

10 years later, but it was an issue for me too. So here's the simple solution, the QLocale() default constructor returns the current application settings, so the following returns the current application language as a string:
QLocale::languageToString ( QLocale().language() )
