Detailed Description

QLocale is initialized with a language/country pair in its constructor and offers number-to-string and string-to-number conversion functions similar to those in QString.

Example:

QLocale egyptian(QLocale::Arabic, QLocale::Egypt);
QString s1 = egyptian.toString(1.571429E+07, 'e');
QString s2 = egyptian.toString(10);

double d = egyptian.toDouble(s1);
int i = egyptian.toInt(s2);

QLocale supports the concept of a default locale, which is determined from the system's locale settings at application startup. The default locale can be changed by calling the static member setDefault(). Setting the default locale has the following effects:

  • If a QLocale object is constructed with the default constructor, it will use the default locale's settings.
  • QString::toInt(), QString::toDouble(), etc., interpret the string according to the default locale. If this fails, it falls back on the "C" locale.
  • QString::arg() uses the default locale to format a number when its position specifier in the format string contains an 'L', e.g. "%L1".

The following example illustrates how to use QLocale directly:

QLocale::setDefault(QLocale(QLocale::Hebrew, QLocale::Israel));
QLocale hebrew; // Constructs a default QLocale
QString s1 = hebrew.toString(15714.3, 'e');

bool ok;
double d;

QLocale::setDefault(QLocale::C);
d = QString("1234,56").toDouble(&ok);   // ok == false, d == 0
d = QString("1234.56").toDouble(&ok);   // ok == true,  d == 1234.56

QLocale::setDefault(QLocale::German);
d = QString("1234,56").toDouble(&ok);   // ok == false, d == 0
d = QString("1234.56").toDouble(&ok);   // ok == true,  d == 1234.56

QLocale::setDefault(QLocale(QLocale::English, QLocale::UnitedStates));
QString str = QString("%1 %L2 %L3")
      .arg(12345).arg(12345).arg(12345, 0, 16);
// str == "12345 12,345 3039"

When a language/country pair is specified in the constructor, one of three things can happen:

  • If the language/country pair is found in the database, it is used.
  • If the language is found but the country is not, or if the country is AnyCountry, the language is used with the most appropriate available country (for example, Germany for German),
  • If neither the language nor the country are found, QLocale defaults to the default locale (see setDefault()).

Use language() and country() to determine the actual language and country values used.

An alternative method for constructing a QLocale object is by specifying the locale name.

QLocale korean("ko");
QLocale swiss("de_CH");

This constructor converts the locale name to a language/country pair; it does not use the system locale database.

Note: For the current keyboard input locale take a look at QInputMethod::locale().

QLocale's data is based on Common Locale Data Repository v39.

See also QString::arg(), QString::toInt(), QString::toDouble(), and QInputMethod::locale().

enum QLocale::CurrencySymbolFormat

Specifies the format of the currency symbol.

Constant Value Description
QLocale::CurrencyIsoCode 0 a ISO-4217 code of the currency.
QLocale::CurrencySymbol 1 a currency symbol.
QLocale::CurrencyDisplayName 2 a user readable name of the currency.

[since 5.10] enum QLocale::DataSizeFormatflags QLocale::DataSizeFormats

Specifies the format for representation of data quantities.

Constant Value Description
QLocale::DataSizeIecFormat 0 format using base 1024 and IEC prefixes: KiB, MiB, GiB, ...
QLocale::DataSizeTraditionalFormat DataSizeSIQuantifiers format using base 1024 and SI prefixes: kB, MB, GB, ...
QLocale::DataSizeSIFormat DataSizeBase1000 | DataSizeSIQuantifiers format using base 1000 and SI prefixes: kB, MB, GB, ...

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 5.10.

The DataSizeFormats type is a typedef for QFlags<DataSizeFormat>. It stores an OR combination of DataSizeFormat values.

See also formattedDataSize().

[since 5.7] enum QLocale::FloatingPointPrecisionOption

This enum defines constants that can be given as precision to QString::number(), QByteArray::number(), and QLocale::toString() when converting floats or doubles, in order to express a variable number of digits as precision.

Constant Value Description
QLocale::FloatingPointShortest -128 The conversion algorithm will try to find the shortest accurate representation for the given number. "Accurate" means that you get the exact same number back from an inverse conversion on the generated string representation.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 5.7.

See also toString(), QString, and QByteArray.

enum QLocale::FormatType

This enum describes the different formats that can be used when converting QDate, QTime, and QDateTime objects, as well as months and days, to strings specific to the locale.

Constant Value Description
QLocale::LongFormat 0 Longer format.
QLocale::ShortFormat 1 Shorter format.
QLocale::NarrowFormat 2 A special version for use when space is very limited.

Note: NarrowFormat might contain the same text for different months and days. It can even be an empty string if the locale doesn't support narrow names, so you should avoid using it for date formatting. Also, for the system locale this format is the same as ShortFormat.

See also dateFormat(), timeFormat(), dateTimeFormat(), monthName(), standaloneMonthName(), dayName(), standaloneDayName(), toDate(), toTime(), and toDateTime().

enum QLocale::Language

This enumerated type is used to specify a language.

enum QLocale::NumberOptionflags QLocale::NumberOptions

This enum defines a set of options for number-to-string and string-to-number conversions. They can be retrieved with numberOptions() and set with setNumberOptions().

Constant Value Description
QLocale::DefaultNumberOptions 0x0 This option represents the default behavior, with group separators, with one leading zero in single digit exponents, and without trailing zeroes after the decimal dot.
QLocale::OmitGroupSeparator 0x01 If this option is set, the number-to-string functions will not insert group separators in their return values. The default is to insert group separators.
QLocale::RejectGroupSeparator 0x02 If this option is set, the string-to-number functions will fail if they encounter group separators in their input. The default is to accept numbers containing correctly placed group separators.
QLocale::OmitLeadingZeroInExponent 0x04 If this option is set, the number-to-string functions will not pad exponents with zeroes when printing floating point numbers in scientific notation. The default is to add one leading zero to single digit exponents.
QLocale::RejectLeadingZeroInExponent 0x08 If this option is set, the string-to-number functions will fail if they encounter an exponent padded with zeroes when parsing a floating point number in scientific notation. The default is to accept such padding.
QLocale::IncludeTrailingZeroesAfterDot 0x10 If this option is set, the number-to-string functions will pad numbers with zeroes to the requested precision in "g" or "most concise" mode, even if the number of significant digits is lower than the requested precision. The default is to omit trailing zeroes.
QLocale::RejectTrailingZeroesAfterDot 0x20 If this option is set, the string-to-number functions will fail if they encounter trailing zeroes after the decimal dot when parsing a number in scientific or decimal representation. The default is to accept trailing zeroes.

The NumberOptions type is a typedef for QFlags<NumberOption>. It stores an OR combination of NumberOption values.

See also setNumberOptions() and numberOptions().

Member Function Documentation

QLocale::QLocale(const QLocale &other)

Constructs a QLocale object as a copy of other.

QLocale::QLocale(QLocale::Language language, QLocale::Script script, QLocale::Country country)

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified language, script and country.

  • If the language/script/country is found in the database, it is used.
  • If both script is AnyScript and country is AnyCountry, the language is used with the most appropriate available script and country (for example, Germany for German),
  • If either script is AnyScript or country is AnyCountry, the language is used with the first locale that matches the given script and country.
  • If neither the language nor the country are found, QLocale defaults to the default locale (see setDefault()).

The language, script and country that are actually used can be queried using language(), script() and country().

See also setDefault(), language(), script(), and country().

QLocale::QLocale(QLocale::Language language, QLocale::Country country = AnyCountry)

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified language and country.

  • If the language/country pair is found in the database, it is used.
  • If the language is found but the country is not, or if the country is AnyCountry, the language is used with the most appropriate available country (for example, Germany for German),
  • If neither the language nor the country are found, QLocale defaults to the default locale (see setDefault()).

The language and country that are actually used can be queried using language() and country().

See also setDefault(), language(), and country().

QLocale::QLocale(const QString &name)

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified name, which has the format "language[_script][_country][.codeset][@modifier]" or "C", where:

  • language is a lowercase, two-letter, ISO 639 language code (also some three-letter codes),
  • script is a titlecase, four-letter, ISO 15924 script code,
  • country is an uppercase, two-letter, ISO 3166 country code (also "419" as defined by United Nations),
  • and codeset and modifier are ignored.

The separator can be either underscore '_' (U+005F, "low line") or a dash '-' (U+002D, "hyphen-minus").

If the string violates the locale format, or language is not a valid ISO 639 code, the "C" locale is used instead. If country is not present, or is not a valid ISO 3166 code, the most appropriate country is chosen for the specified language.

The language, script and country codes are converted to their respective Language, Script and Country enums. After this conversion is performed, the constructor behaves exactly like QLocale(Country, Script, Language).

This constructor is much slower than QLocale(Country, Script, Language).

See also bcp47Name().

QLocale::QLocale()

Constructs a QLocale object initialized with the default locale. If no default locale was set using setDefault(), this locale will be the same as the one returned by system().

See also setDefault().

QLocale &QLocale::operator=(const QLocale &other)

Assigns other to this QLocale object and returns a reference to this QLocale object.

QLocale::~QLocale()

Destructor

QString QLocale::amText() const

Returns the localized name of the "AM" suffix for times specified using the conventions of the 12-hour clock.

See also pmText().

QString QLocale::bcp47Name() const

Returns the dash-separated language, script and country (and possibly other BCP47 fields) of this locale as a string.

Unlike the uiLanguages() the returned value of the bcp47Name() represents the locale name of the QLocale data but not the language the user-interface should be in.

This function tries to conform the locale name to BCP47.

See also language(), country(), script(), and uiLanguages().

[static] QLocale QLocale::c()

Returns a QLocale object initialized to the "C" locale.

This locale is based on en_US but with various quirks of its own, such as simplified number formatting and its own date formatting. It implements the POSIX standards that describe the behavior of standard library functions of the "C" programming language.

Among other things, this means its collation order is based on the ASCII values of letters, so that (for case-sensitive sorting) all upper-case letters sort before any lower-case one (rather than each letter's upper- and lower-case forms sorting adjacent to one another, before the next letter's two forms).

See also system().

[static, since 6.1] QLocale::Country QLocale::codeToCountry(QStringView countryCode)

Returns the QLocale::Country enum corresponding to the two-letter or three-digit countryCode, as defined in the ISO 3166 standard.

If the code is invalid or not known QLocale::AnyCountry is returned.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.

See also countryToCode(), codeToLanguage(), and codeToScript().

[static, since 6.1] QLocale::Language QLocale::codeToLanguage(QStringView languageCode)

Returns the QLocale::Language enum corresponding to the two- or three-letter languageCode, as defined in the ISO 639 standards.

If the code is invalid or not known QLocale::AnyLanguage is returned.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.

See also languageToCode(), codeToCountry(), and codeToScript().

[static, since 6.1] QLocale::Script QLocale::codeToScript(QStringView scriptCode)

Returns the QLocale::Script enum corresponding to the four-letter script scriptCode, as defined in the ISO 15924 standard.

If the code is invalid or not known QLocale::AnyScript is returned.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.

See also scriptToCode(), codeToLanguage(), and codeToCountry().

[since 5.13] QLocale QLocale::collation() const

Returns the locale to use for collation.

The result is usually this locale; however, the system locale (which is commonly the default locale) will return the system collation locale. The result is suitable for passing to QCollator's constructor.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.13.

See also QCollator.

QLocale::Country QLocale::country() const

Returns the country of this locale.

See also language(), script(), countryToString(), and bcp47Name().

[static, since 6.1] QString QLocale::countryToCode(QLocale::Country country)

Returns the two-letter country code for country, as defined in the ISO 3166 standard.

Note: For QLocale::AnyCountry an empty string is returned.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.1.

See also codeToCountry(), country(), name(), bcp47Name(), languageToCode(), and scriptToCode().

[static] QString QLocale::countryToString(QLocale::Country country)

Returns a QString containing the name of country.

See also languageToString(), scriptToString(), country(), and bcp47Name().

QString QLocale::createSeparatedList(const QStringList &list) const

Returns a string that represents a join of a given list of strings with a separator defined by the locale.

QString QLocale::currencySymbol(QLocale::CurrencySymbolFormat format = CurrencySymbol) const

Returns a currency symbol according to the format.

QString QLocale::dateFormat(QLocale::FormatType format = LongFormat) const

Returns the date format used for the current locale.

If format is LongFormat, the format will be elaborate, otherwise it will be short. For example, LongFormat for the en_US locale is dddd, MMMM d, yyyy, ShortFormat is M/d/yy.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.6.

bool operator!=(const QLocale &lhs, const QLocale &rhs)

Returns true if the two QLocale objects, lhs and rhs, differ; otherwise returns false.

Note: The system locale is not equal to the QLocale object constructed from its language(), script() and country(), even if the two agree in all data fields. Nor are two locales with different number options equal.

See also operator==() and setNumberOptions().
