[Qgis-user] localisation of date fails in QGIS 3.2

Thu Aug 9 01:47:24 PDT 2018

My take on getting the locale from Qt and setting it in Python:

import locale

def get_qgis_locale():

    loc = QLocale()

    for lang in loc.uiLanguages():

        if lang.startswith(loc.bcp47Name()):

            return '%s.UTF-8' % lang.replace('-', '_')

        return 'en_US.UTF-8'

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, get_qgis_locale())

print(locale.getlocale())

uiLanguages() is a bit ambiguous, when using auto locale it just shows ‘de’ for me, setting 

the override – not the user interface – to nl_BE it shows ‘nl-BE’ which should be enough for setting locale.setlocale, you just need to replace the dash with an underscore. There is still the possibility that this will break on some language combinations though.

Thanks a lot Alessandro,

That works perfectly.

Glad it helped.

btw, this is a side-effect of the recent changes in QGIS locale: we are now using setting a "default locale" (from QGIS settings) when QGIS starts, and that locale is used through the whole QGIS application.

If you change the default locale in the settings, please remember to restart QGIS.

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/> Reginald,

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/>  

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/>  

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/> Using QT:

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/>  

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/> locale = QLocale(QLocale.Japanese)

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/> locale.toString(QDate.currentDate())

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/>  

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/> And, if you want to use the same settings that you set in QGIS, just use the default locale:

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/>  

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/> locale = QLocale() # Default locale from QGIS options/settings 

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/> locale.toString(QDate.currentDate())

 <https://www.ingelmunster.be/>

Do you see the same from a standalone python console? (I'm not sure 
that this issue is related to QGIS at all or whether it's a Python 
specific thing).
