I'm dealing with a bug in the Qt pluging of Licq: #123836 Licq uses the Qt interfaces for message translation. Apparently, Qt ignores the standard locale environment variables. None of
LC_ALL=fr_FR LC_ALL=fr LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR LC_MESSAGES=fr succeed to change the language. But LANG=fr LANG=fr_FR work. I also notice that none of these environment variables work to change the language of a random KDE application like konsole. Can anyone explain how the Qt internationalization facilities work and how the user is to set up his environment properly?
