    [quote author="koplersky" date="1421693019"]Thank you Dheerendra, but I don't think that helps.
    I'm using QTranslator::load() and QCoreApplication::​installTranslator() to translate the menus. But later I'd like to get the loaded language, out of the function that has the locale object.

    I already have a workaround for this, but I was just wondering if there is a direct way to get this information.[/quote]

    What workaround did you use?

      a little trick would be to add a translation for e.g. APP_LANGUAGE to every translation file and to translate it to the language's native name for each.

      Then you simply can use
      @
      QObject::tr("APP_LANGUAGE")
      @

          It turns out to be very simple:
          http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28161888/how-to-find-current-qlocale-in-qt-pyqt-pyside

          Just enter
          x=QtCore.QLocale()

          and then all the QLocale methods apply to x. E.g.,
          x.language()

          That's Python, probably similar in c++

              The current locale is not the same as the current application language. We allow switching the application language manually for instance (though the default is based on the locale).

                  How about managing it logically?

                  Example: Maintain a member variable called m_currentLanguage to contain the information about current language and refer it whenever required.

                      10 years later, but it was an issue for me too. So here's the simple solution, the QLocale() default constructor returns the current application settings, so the following returns the current application language as a string:

                      QLocale::languageToString ( QLocale().language() )
