In fact, as you surely know, they actually don't behind the scenes: QLocale internally translates the POSIX locales to ICU locales and uses the ICU infrastructure (which is unfortunately not any better, and the translation also means custom glibc locales, or even the glibc en_DK locale, do not work in Qt applications). Up to KDE 4, they used KLocale which bypassed the POSIX locale infrastructure entirely and was much more customizable, so in my view it is no surprise that users do not understand why this functionality was removed with no viable replacement. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
