- the list is already filtered for UTF-8, so this is redundant
- this *incidentally* fixes the problem with Assamese and Asturian,
since Assamese (as_IN) was having its only entry removed,
after which it would match Asturian (ast_ES)
- The language and BCP need to be in-sync
- Existing code was inconsistent in setting things, which is why
you could get through the locale page without setting a locale
(at all) or it would keep English in spite of picking Germand on
the welcome page.
- Patch tests to use that API.
- Allow split-setting of the language and formats
- Test new constructors
- Since fromLanguageAndLocation can handle empty localeGen
lists just fine, skip all the weird checks that return
invalid guessed locale configurations.
- Replace createDefault() with a constructor that takes a
locale name; use it with en_US.UTF-8 in those places where
createDefault was previously used.
- Make the BCP47 value explicitly lower-case.
- Add some constness and encapsulation.
- Fix up documentation in the packages module explaining the
format of the ${LOCALE} replacement (now forced to lower-case,
but it is also only the language part, not e.g. en-UK).
FIXES#922
Add description of language and number formats to pretty status.
This is shown in the summary page. Refactor a little to produce
the strings only in one place. Constify methods.
FIXES: #564
If the user selects a language from the dialog (by clicking 'change'),
then preserve that explicit choice even when clicking on another
location which would reset the language based on the installer-
language.
This allows for installing locale packages. This can be achieved
by adding a entry of the format packagename-${LOCALE} in the
packages configuration module.
locale -a returns the locales using ".utf8" names rather than ".UTF-8".
The case-insensitive match does not help because it is "utf8" rather
than "UTF-8". So we need to match both with and without the dash.
In order to avoid deep copies, Qt containers over which we iterate must be const
The remaining unported cases require qAsConst (Qt 5.7) or std::as_const (C++17)
