Description jonatan 2016-04-25 08:42:31 UTC

On my Windows 7 system, Dutch is the default language.
I unzipped the krita-master-f38b47e-x64 test build, and ran it. Everything was in Dutch.

I opened the language dialog, it showed American English as current language. Applying "american english" did not have any effect, switching to "british english" gave a dialog which told me to restart Krita.

So: The language in use was Dutch, but the Dialog thought it was American English

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set system language to recognizably different language than american english
2. Start krita from the krita-master-f38b47e-x64 folder
3. Go to language dialog and try to choose american english


Expected Results:  
The language in the dialog should correspond to the language actually used

Hi

Does it's also exists in Krita v2.9.11 or does it's a regression in v3.0 ?

I can confirm on win 10 krita 3.0, norwegian locale, english system language.

I can get American English by first adding a fallback language, and switching them both, and then removing the fallback language (although the switch application language dialog box still retains some norwegian :D )

This bug is a duplicate of another I cannot find right now; what works for me to get Krita totally in, say, Japanese, is open a cmd window, type

set LANG=ja

then go to the krita install directory and execute krita.exe.

This seems something that went totally wrong inside Qt5, and I haven't figured it out yet.

Should be fixed with

    Use name, not bcp47Name to select the language for Krita
    
    This fixes selection languages specialized for a country.
