What is needed to set language for resource (qrc) to use?

[neuronet]

(Note I am working in Python (PySide))

I have something like the following in my .qrc file (some other stuff is deleted):

<!DOCTYPE RCC>
<RCC version="1.0">
 
<qresource>
<file>qt_fr.qm</file>
</qresource>
 
<qresource>
<file alias="index.html">help/index.html</file>
</qresource>
 
<qresource lang="fr">
<file alias="index.html">help/index_fr.html</file>
</qresource>
 
</RCC>

<!DOCTYPE RCC>
<RCC version="1.0">

<qresource>
<file>qt_fr.qm</file>
</qresource>

<qresource>
<file alias="index.html">help/index.html</file>
</qresource>

<qresource lang="fr">
<file alias="index.html">help/index_fr.html</file>
</qresource>

</RCC>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

To my chagrin, I'm not sure how to activate the 'fr' language trigger so that the correct alias is chosen, and index_fr.html is used.

What I have right now in main() is:

locale = 'fr'
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    qtTranslator = QtCore.QTranslator()
    if qtTranslator.load("qt_" + locale, ":/"):
        app.installTranslator(qtTranslator)
    form = HelpForm("index.html")
    form.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

locale = 'fr'
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    qtTranslator = QtCore.QTranslator()
    if qtTranslator.load("qt_" + locale, ":/"):
        app.installTranslator(qtTranslator)
    form = HelpForm("index.html")
    form.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Where HelpForm basically displays index.html. But even though I have 'fr' as my locale, it is still just showing me the index.html file, not index_fr.html, as I thought I had asked for in the qrc file (which successfully compiled and I loaded the resource_rc.py file in my module).

Can anyone help me find the minimal requirements to get this to work?

You don't seem to set the locale, so Qt will still see whatever the system has set.

See QLocale::setDefault().

You don't seem to set the locale, so Qt will still see whatever the system has set.
See QLocale::setDefault().

That fixes it. For Python users, I just added the following (recall locale='fr'):

newLocale = QtCore.QLocale(locale) 
QLocale.setDefault(newLocale)

newLocale = QtCore.QLocale(locale) 
QLocale.setDefault(newLocale)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And it works.
