## 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().

`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::MeasurementSystem

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::ImperialUSSystem` | `1` | This value indicates imperial units, such as inches and miles as they are used in the United States.
`QLocale::ImperialUKSystem` | `2` | This value indicates imperial units, such as inches and miles as they are used in the United Kingdom.
`QLocale::ImperialSystem` | `ImperialUSSystem` | Provided for compatibility. Same as ImperialUSSystem

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.4.

### enum QLocale::NumberOption
flags 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().

### enum QLocale::QuotationStyle

This enum defines a set of possible styles for locale specific quotation.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QLocale::StandardQuotation` | `0` | If this option is set, the standard quotation marks will be used to quote strings.
`QLocale::AlternateQuotation` | `1` | If this option is set, the alternate quotation marks will be used to quote strings.

This enum was introduced or modified in Qt 4.8.

See also quoteString().

### enum QLocale::Script

## Member Function Documentation

### QString QLocale::toCurrencyString(float value, const QString &symbol = QString()) const

### QString QLocale::toCurrencyString(float i, const QString &symbol, int precision) const

This function overloads toCurrencyString().

### QLocale::QLocale(const QLocale &other)

Constructs a QLocale object as a copy of other.

### QLocale::QLocale(Language language, Script script, 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().

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

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

### QLocale::QLocale(Language language, 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 or a minus sign.

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.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.5.

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.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

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().

### 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.

### Country QLocale::country() const

Returns the country of this locale.

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

### `[static]` QString QLocale::countryToString(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.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

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

Returns a currency symbol according to the format.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

### QString QLocale::dateFormat(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 4.1.

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

### QString QLocale::dateTimeFormat(FormatType format = LongFormat) const

Returns the date time 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 h:mm:ss AP t`, ShortFormat is `M/d/yy h:mm AP`.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

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

### QString QLocale::dayName(int day, FormatType type = LongFormat) const

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

For example, if the locale is `en_US` and day is 1, LongFormat will return `Monday`, ShortFormat `Mon`, and NarrowFormat `M`.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also monthName() and standaloneDayName().

### QChar QLocale::decimalPoint() const

Returns the decimal point character of this locale.

Note: This function shall change to return a QString instead of QChar in Qt6. Callers are encouraged to exploit the QString(QChar) constructor to convert early in preparation for this.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

See also groupSeparator() and toString().

### QChar QLocale::exponential() const

Returns the exponential character of this locale, used to separate exponent from mantissa in some floating-point numeric representations.

Note: This function shall change to return a QString instead of QChar in Qt6. Callers are encouraged to exploit the QString(QChar) constructor to convert early in preparation for this.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

See also toString(double, char, int).

### Qt::DayOfWeek QLocale::firstDayOfWeek() const

Returns the first day of the week according to the current locale.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.

### QString QLocale::formattedDataSize(qint64 bytes, int precision = 2, DataSizeFormats format = DataSizeIecFormat) const

Converts a size in bytes to a human-readable localized string, comprising a number and a quantified unit. The quantifier is chosen such that the number is at least one, and as small as possible. For example if bytes is 16384, precision is 2, and format is DataSizeIecFormat (the default), this function returns "16.00 KiB"; for 1330409069609 bytes it returns "1.21 GiB"; and so on. If format is DataSizeIecFormat or DataSizeTraditionalFormat, the given number of bytes is divided by a power of 1024, with result less than 1024; for DataSizeSIFormat, it is divided by a power of 1000, with result less than 1000. `DataSizeIecFormat` uses the new IEC standard quantifiers Ki, Mi and so on, whereas `DataSizeSIFormat` uses the older SI quantifiers k, M, etc., and `DataSizeTraditionalFormat` abuses them.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.10.

### QChar QLocale::groupSeparator() const

Returns the group separator character of this locale.

Note: This function shall change to return a QString instead of QChar in Qt6. Callers are encouraged to exploit the QString(QChar) constructor to convert early in preparation for this.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also dateTimeFormat(), toTime(), toDate(), and QDateTime::fromString().

### QDateTime QLocale::toDateTime(const QString &string, const QString &format) const

Parses the date/time string given in string and returns the time. See QDateTime::fromString() for information on the expressions that can be used with this function.

Note: The month and day names used must be given in the user's local language.

If the string could not be parsed, returns an invalid QDateTime. If the string can be parsed and represents an invalid date-time (e.g. in a gap skipped by a time-zone transition), an invalid QDateTime is returned, whose toMSecsSinceEpoch() represents a near-by date-time that is valid. Passing that to fromMSecsSinceEpoch() will produce a valid date-time that isn't faithfully represented by the string parsed.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also dateTimeFormat(), toTime(), toDate(), and QDateTime::fromString().

### QDateTime QLocale::toDateTime(const QString &string, FormatType format, QCalendar cal) const

This function does not fall back to the 'C' locale if the string cannot be interpreted in this locale.

     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, d == 0

     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 == 0

     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.

     d = c.toDouble("1234,56", &ok);  // ok == false, d == 0

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

     d = c.toDouble(u"1234,56", &ok);  // ok == false, d == 0

     QLocale german(QLocale::German);
     d = german.toDouble(u"1234,56", &ok);  // ok == true,  d == 1234.56
     d = german.toDouble(u"1.234,56", &ok); // ok == true,  d == 1234.56
     d = german.toDouble(u"1234.56", &ok);  // ok == false, d == 0

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