<p>Motivation is:<br />
<a href="https://cgit.kde.org/ki18n.git/tree/src/klocalizedstring.cpp#n1257" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain()</tt></a> triggers the creation of the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">KLocalizedStringPrivateStatics</tt> instance, which then also <a href="https://cgit.kde.org/kxmlgui.git/tree/src/kswitchlanguagedialog_p.cpp#n76" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">reads the currently set env vars to collect the set locales/languages</a>. <br />
Now KXMLGUI's language switching support for programs injects the override language via <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">Q_COREAPP_STARTUP_FUNCTION(initializeLanguages)</tt> (see <a href="https://cgit.kde.org/kxmlgui.git/tree/src/kswitchlanguagedialog_p.cpp#n44" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">kswitchlanguagedialog_p.cpp</a> lines 44ff) by twisting the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">LANGUAGE</tt> env var.<br />
So for that to work, the <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">KLocalizedStringPrivateStatics</tt> instance has to be created only _after_ the QCoreApplication constructor is run.</p>
<p>A few programs had the order reversed, due to calling <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">KLocalizedString::setApplicationDomain()</tt> before QApp creation, resulting in the language switching override being ignored and thus broken.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R249 KI18n</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D8351" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D8351</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>kossebau, Frameworks, ilic, ltoscano<br /></div>
