Bug 422749

SUMMARY

QSystemLocale has become private API in Qt 5.15, 
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sourcebreaks.html

Therefore kxmlgui/src/kswitchlanguagedialog_p.cpp:97 has an undefined reference to QSystemLocale.





STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. compile kxmlgui against Qt5.15

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The respective line in the source has the following comment:

        // Ideally setting the LANGUAGE would change the default QLocale too
        // but unfortunately this is too late since the QCoreApplication constructor
        // already created a QLocale at this stage so we need to set the reset it
        // by triggering the creation and destruction of a QSystemLocale
        // this is highly dependant on Qt internals, so may break, but oh well
        QSystemLocale *dummy = new QSystemLocale();
        delete dummy;


could a locale handler address this issue? Such as: https://developer.blackberry.com/native/reference/cascades/bb__cascades__localehandler.html
