Qt4 + KDE + non-default locale = problem

[yogeshm02]

Hi

I'm writing a pure Qt4 application, presently working on Linux/openSUSE/KDE3 & 4.

I've tried changing locale settings (to enable Hindi language) in KDE3 as well as KDE4, still QLocale::system().name() is returning "en_US" in my application.
Do this change needed to be applied to whole system for Qt to detect locale e.g through YaST?

Thanks,

What does the "locale" console command return for you?

[yogeshm02]

Same as Qt i.e.

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

But what do I do to change it? As said earlier I've changed locale settings through KDE and all apps (except Qt) are launching in "Hindi", the locale I selected.
Any idea?

How do you launch your Qt apps? All KDE applications are at the same time Qt applications, remember that.

You should change your system settings to reflect proper locale, regardless of how the desktop manager is set up.

Through menu, shell; my application is being launched from shell in a directory in which it was built.

But, then this will change settings for all users on system. Right?

Try running it by activating its icon on the desktop/file manager.

It depends how (where) you set it. If you do that in your profile only it will only be relevant for you.

Still not working. Whatever I do it remains "en_US".

If you meanth KDE/kcontrol, then i've already done that, otherwise how that can be done? Should I contact openSUSE?

No, I meant ~/.bash_profile or equivalent.
