However it's not clear to me from the Qt bug reports that the Qt folks even want that; they seem interested in remaining with the existing CLDR and ICU-based implementation, which implies that no upstream fix is actually possible here. Given that… (In reply to Kevin Kofler from comment #284) > * Considering that users are expecting features that KLocale provided and > that neither QLocale (Qt/ICU locales) nor POSIX/glibc locales are able to > provide, it should be obvious that deprecating KLocale was a mistake and > that it needs to be resurrected *now*. This issue report has 133 users on > the CC list, 19 duplicates, and 283 comments. This makes it clear that this > is a priority for your users. At this point I think it's worth considering. The challenge is that it would be a ridiculous amount of work. Maybe we could reach out to the Qt folks to see if there are any small changes to QLocale they'd be willing to accept so we don't have to port away from it. Like maybe there could be an optional "only use glibc locales" mode to unblock a custom glibc locale creation UI. Or a way to create custom Qt-specific locales so at least we could create custom locales that would work in all KDE and Qt apps. Re-opening, and marking as a wishlist. Please try to keep the non-technical chatter to a minimum. :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
