Detailed Description

KLocale provides support for language and country specific stuff.

KLocale supports specifying the format for numbers, currency, time, and date.

Use KLocale::global() to get pointer to the global KLocale object, containing the applications current locale settings.

For example, to format the date May 17, 1995 in the current locale, use:

QString date = KLocale::global()->formatDate(QDate(1995,5,17));

Deprecated:: since 5.0. For translation support use KLocalizedString (from the KI18n framework); for string formatting use QLocale() or KFormat (from the KCoreAddons framework) if QLocale doesn't provide the formatting you need. For more information about porting code that is still using KLocale see: https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Porting_Notes#Localization

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum KLocale::BinarySizeUnits

These binary units are used in KDE by the formatByteSize() functions.

NOTE: There are several different units standards: 1) SI (i.e. metric), powers-of-10. 2) IEC, powers-of-2, with specific units KiB, MiB, etc. 3) JEDEC, powers-of-2, used for solid state memory sizing which is why you see flash cards labels as e.g. 4GB. These (ab)use the metric units. Although JEDEC only defines KB, MB, GB, if JEDEC is selected all units will be powers-of-2 with metric prefixes for clarity in the event of sizes larger than 1024 GB.

Although 3 different dialects are possible this enum only uses metric names since adding all 3 different names of essentially the same unit would be pointless. Use BinaryUnitDialect to control the exact units returned.

Since: 4.4

enum KLocale::BinaryUnitDialect

This enum chooses what dialect is used for binary units.

Note: Although JEDEC abuses the metric prefixes and can therefore be confusing, it has been used to describe memory sizes for quite some time and programs should therefore use either Default, JEDEC, or IEC 60027-2 for memory sizes.

On the other hand network transmission rates are typically in metric so Default, Metric, or IEC (which is unambiguous) should be chosen.

Normally choosing DefaultBinaryDialect is the best option as that uses the user's selection for units.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KLocale::KLocale ( KSharedConfig::Ptr config = KSharedConfig::Ptr() )

explicit

Constructs a KLocale.

The constructor looks for entries Language and Country in the group Locale in the configuration file.

If no configuration file is specified, it will also look for languages and country using the environment variables (KDE_LANG, LC_MESSAGES, LC_ALL, LANG), as well as the global configuration file.

If you specify a configuration file, it has to be valid until the KLocale object is destroyed. Note that a setLocale() will be performed on the config using the current locale language and country, which may cause a sync() and reparseConfiguration() which will save any changes you have made and load any changes other shared copies have made.

Parameters

config a configuration file with a Locale group detailing locale-related preferences (such as language, country, and formatting options).

Definition at line 42 of file klocale.cpp.

KLocale::KLocale	(	const QString &	language,
		const QString &	country = `QString()`,
		KConfig *	config = `nullptr`
	)

Constructs a KLocale.

Allows you to override the language and, optionally, the country of this locale.

If you specify a configuration file, a setLocale() will be performed on the config using the current locale language and country, which may cause a sync() and reparseConfiguration() which will save any changes you have made.

Parameters

language	the ISO Language Code for the locale, e.g. "en" for English
country	the ISO Country Code for the locale, e.g. "US" for USA
config	a configuration file with a Locale group detailing locale-related preferences (such as language, country, and formatting options).
