My Qt application allows to change the language during runtime. This works all perfect except the date format. (And maybe other localized formats too.) When the app switches to any language, I install it with two calls of QCoreApplication::installTranslator, one for the Qt translations and one for my own translations. This works fin including the date format. When the app switches to English, I uninstall the translation with two calls of QCoreApplication::removeTranslator. Then everything is in English except the date format.

Is there anything else I have to do when I want completely switch to English?

• qt
• internationalization

• Is there anything else I have to do when I want completely switch to English? - install an english translator. – chehrlic Commented Feb 4 at 19:07

The date format has nothing to do with the installed language. It can be set with:

QLocale::setDefault(QLocale::English);
