Description Christian Archer 2012-04-23 00:07:21 CEST

Description of problem:
Applications using Qt show Russian interface instead of English. Probably Qt uses wrong variable for lang detection

I don't know whether it's Qt bug or Mageia specific

Tested apps: Qt Config, Qt Creator, Clementine

Env variables:
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8:en_GB:en
LC_ADDRESS=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_NAME=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_SOURCED=1
LC_TELEPHONE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Qt 4.8

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
Set system language to one locale (English GB in my case) and country settings to some different locale (Russian RU in my case). KDE and GTK+ apps will be English but pure Qt apps will be Russian by default

LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 qtconfig
does the trick. however i don't want to use this for every qt app

setting consistent locale/country pair is also unacceptable

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Is this still valid? It appears that language locale is handled differently now. Having selected a system language there is a restricted set of countries that can be selected. When I install English(Australia) as system language Russian is not available as a country. If I install the Russian locale then behaviour is the same. Is this an intended change?
