Detailed Description

The QLocale class converts between numbers and their string representations in various languages.

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:

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 = QString("1234.56").toDouble(&ok);   // ok == true, d == 1234.56

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

 QLocale.setDefault(QLocale(QLocale.English, QLocale.UnitedStates));
 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:

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 QApplication.keyboardInputLocale().

QLocale's data is based on Common Locale Data Repository v1.8.1.

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.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.8.

QLocale.FormatType

This enum describes the types of format that can be used when converting QDate and QTime objects to strings.

Constant Value Description
QLocale.LongFormat 0 The long version of day and month names; for example, returning "January" as a month name.
QLocale.ShortFormat 1 The short version of day and month names; for example, returning "Jan" as a month name.
QLocale.NarrowFormat 2 A special version of day and month names for use when space is limited; for example, returning "J" as a month name. Note that the narrow format might contain the same text for different months and days or 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.

This enum defines which units are used for measurement.

Constant Value Description
QLocale.MetricSystem 0 This value indicates metric units, such as meters, centimeters and millimeters.

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.

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

Method Documentation

QLocale.__init__ (self)

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

See also setDefault().

QLocale.__init__ (self, QString name)

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

The separator can be either underscore or a minus sign.

If the string violates the locale format, or language is not a valid ISO 369 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.__init__ (self, Language language, Country country = QLocale.AnyCountry)

Constructs a QLocale object with the specified language and country.

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

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

QLocale.__init__ (self, QLocale other)

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

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

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

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

QLocale.__init__ (self, Language language, Script script, Country country)

Constructs a QLocale object as a copy of other.

QString QLocale.amText (self)

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

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

See also pmText().

QString QLocale.bcp47Name (self)

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.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

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

QLocale QLocale.c ()

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

See also system().

list-of-QLocale.Country QLocale.countriesForLanguage (Language lang)

Country QLocale.country (self)

Returns the country of this locale.

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

QString QLocale.countryToString (Country country)

Returns a QString containing the name of country.

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

QString QLocale.createSeparatedList (self, QStringList list)

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

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

QString QLocale.currencySymbol (self, CurrencySymbolFormat format = QLocale.CurrencySymbol)

Returns a currency symbol according to the format.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

QString QLocale.dateFormat (self, FormatType format = QLocale.LongFormat)

Returns the date format used for the current locale.

If format is LongFormat the format will be a long version. Otherwise it uses a shorter version.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

See also QDate.toString() and QDate.fromString().

QString QLocale.dateTimeFormat (self, FormatType format = QLocale.LongFormat)

Returns the date time format used for the current locale.

If format is ShortFormat the format will be a short version. Otherwise it uses a longer version.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also QDateTime.toString() and QDateTime.fromString().

QString QLocale.dayName (self, int, FormatType format = QLocale.LongFormat)

Returns the localized name of the day (where 1 represents Monday, 2 represents Tuesday and so on), in the format specified by type.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also monthName() and standaloneDayName().

QChar QLocale.decimalPoint (self)

Returns the decimal point character of this locale.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

QChar QLocale.exponential (self)

 bool ok;
 double d;

 QLocale c(QLocale.C);
 d = c.toDouble( "1234.56", &ok );  // ok == true, d == 1234.56
 d = c.toDouble( "1,234.56", &ok ); // ok == true, d == 1234.56
 d = c.toDouble( "1234,56", &ok );  // ok == false

 QLocale german(QLocale.German);
 d = german.toDouble( "1234,56", &ok );  // ok == true, d == 1234.56
 d = german.toDouble( "1.234,56", &ok ); // ok == true, d == 1234.56
 d = german.toDouble( "1234.56", &ok );  // ok == false

 d = german.toDouble( "1.234", &ok );    // ok == true, d == 1234.0

Notice that the last conversion returns 1234.0, because '.' is the thousands group separator in the German locale.
