Shouldnt you be using the locale functions?

I haven't personally used them, so sorry no experience I can share.

if you write your own function to do the conversion don't assume the number has a decimal portion it may be rounded to whole numbers only.

Previously, I dealt successfully with importing with a user's locale,

I'm working on a patch to fix "[Bug 334995] CSV import Debit/Credit mode
only looks at one column, credits become 0.00".  I have the patch
working for my own locale - UK.  However, for other locales, I converted
my test file to use comma decimal and semi-colon separator. This is
giving me grief.  What I'm trying to do is to convert a QString currency
amount to double, to be able to test if the amount is non-zero, as
against empty.

The basic problem came as a surprise, when I found that QString was not
locale-aware.  I'm getting caught between QLocale and KLocale. I am
setting the country to, say, France.  However, QLocale still seems to be
set to UK.  Things seem to work if I set QLocale::default() to France,
but how do I know which country the user is in?

It looks like QLocale doesn't take account of KDE country change, but
retains the original system locale.  How can I get the KDE locale to
give a country that QLocale will accept?

Or, am I missing the simple answer?

Replying to myself here.

It sounds like all will be sweetness and light in Qt5/Framework 5, at least on the locale front.

Meanwhile, Plan B
