QLocale::system().name() returns "C" instead of language selected by the device user when run in debug mode using remote device target.
Same code works as expected when application is run on device by launching it from application menu.

I know this is a thread necromancy, but this issue is still present, and I needed to spend some time to figure out a workaround. Having an answer here might save some time for someone in the future.
Oh man, @martonmiklos, thanks a lot, that saved a lot of time!

The root cause for the problem is a hack we had to do to get application output to Qt Creator.
The version of qtbase (qt5) we have on the device/emulator currently does logging to console only if it has a tty, otherwise logs are redirected to journald. In order to get application logs to Qt Creator the logs need to be written to console.
We made a hack to Qt Creator to create a fake tty for the application by running the app using the 'script' command. Looks like a side effect of this is that LANG environment is not set anymore, which is why you only see the default 'C' instead of the correct LANG.
There's a fix to the console logging in qtbase already. Once the fix ends up on the device, we also need an update for the Qt Creator in the SDK to remove the aforementioned hack.

Hi, just for clarity and so that I can reproduce this, can you explain how do you run your application in debug mode?
Thanks for the bug report, we'll look into this.
I have configured "Build & Run" kit in SDK for SailfishOS-armv7hl target and my phone as a device.
I run it by selecting Build/Run from SDK, so "debug mode" is a wrong word, sorry about that. Name() return value is printed to SDK console from main() with:
qDebug() << QLocale::system().name()

Maybe because like at harmattan(n9) it uses different user for development and not nemo(main user AFAIK)
ZogG ( 2014-01-06 23:15:01 +0200 )editNo, the development user is still 'nemo'.
