The thing this fixes is there. It's arguably a tiny bit less relevant as people might now use a custom date format in just the digital clock, instead of choosing a different locale for times. FWIW, I submitted a change that did exactly this at the "correct" layer in Qt: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/139295 This is doing the same thing but with a parsing layer before we do the parsing....which is both really clever and horrificly mad at the same time. The solution won't work in all cases. For example: QLocale(QLocale::Portuguese).dateFormat() = "dddd, d 'de' MMMM 'de' yyyy" So with this, if I have English language with portuguese time locale I still get "Thursday, 29 de October de 2015". which is still wrong.
