QString StelLocaleMgr::getAppLanguage ( ) const

inline

This function has no permanent effect on the global locale.

Returns

the abbreviated name of the language (e.g "fr").

QString StelLocaleMgr::getDateFormatStr ( void  ) const

inline

Valid values:

• "mmddyyyy"
• "ddmmyyyy"
• "system_default"
• "yyyymmdd"

These values correspond to the similarly named values in the SDateFormat enum.

QString StelLocaleMgr::getISO8601TimeLocal

(

double

JD

)

const

Parameters

JD	the time and date expressed as a Julian date value.

double StelLocaleMgr::getJdFromISO8601TimeLocal	(	const QString &	str,
		bool *	ok
	)		const

Parameters

str	the local time in ISO 8601 format.
ok	set to false if the string was an invalid date.

QString StelLocaleMgr::getSkyLanguage

(

)

const

This function has no permanent effect on the global locale.

Returns

the name of the language (e.g fr).

QString StelLocaleMgr::getTimeFormatStr ( void  ) const
