<![CDATA[Possible mistake in the translation example?]]>Hi, I was looking at this example:

https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython-6.8/tutorials/basictutorial/translations.html

It didn't work for me. It always showed English. But after a little research I found this other example:

https://github.com/fernicar/PySide6_Examples_Doc_2025_v6.9.1/blob/6.9.1/examples/widgets/linguist/README.md

And basically I just needed to change

LANG=de python main.py

to

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 python main.py

Is this a mistake or is pyside behaving unexpectedly? I'm specifically using pyside 6.9.3 on macOS 15 with Python 3.11

To be clear, changing it fixed the problem.

edit:

Also just tried Python 3.14 with Pyside 6.11.2, same problem. Just changing the LANG fixes it.

The website still isn't updated?

The website shows the official documentation of the current release. It will update with the next release.

If not I have the change ready to be submitted. Otherwise I am happy to improve on it.

But giving the encoding might be better. LC_ALL can also be used...

We will change the tutorial accordingly.
