[Kmymoney-devel] Another locale puzzle - CSV Importer

[Allan]

Previously, I dealt successfully with importing with a user's locale, 
but now I'm hitting a problem.

I'm working on a patch to fix "[Bug 334995] CSV import Debit/Credit mode 
only looks at one column, credits become 0.00".  I have the patch 
working for my own locale - UK.  However, for other locales, I converted 
my test file to use comma decimal and semi-colon separator.  This is 
giving me grief.  What I'm trying to do is to convert a QString currency 
amount to double, to be able to test if the amount is non-zero, as 
against empty.

The basic problem came as a surprise, when I found that QString was not 
locale-aware.  I'm getting caught between QLocale and KLocale.  I am 
setting the country to, say, France.  However, QLocale still seems to be 
set to UK.  Things seem to work if I set QLocale::default() to France, 
but how do I know which country the user is in?

It looks like QLocale doesn't take account of KDE country change, but 
retains the original system locale.  How can I get the KDE locale to 
give a country that QLocale will accept?

Or, am I missing the simple answer?
