I have a language code like fr_fr, fr_be.
I would like to get French and Belgium using QLocale, but I can't find how to do it.
I did:
QLocale locale("fr_fr"); // or fr_be
QString l = locale.languageToString(locale.language()); //returns French in both cases

French is a language, Belgium is a country. That is a very important distinction to make.

Your are querying the language name, that is French in both cases. Maybe you want to get the country name like this:
QLocale locale("fr_be");
QString l = locale.countryToString(locale.country());

It gives good results in cases like fr_fr, fr_be, France and Belgium even if I would prefer French and Belgian. But with ca_es and es_es, I get Spain for both but I would expect Catalan and Spanish.

@SteveTJS I see. The problem is that some countries like Belgium have several official languages (French, German and Dutch) but none of them is "native" for that area. Others like Spain have more than one "native" language, like Spain where they have both Catalan and Spanish. So, many times you will not have a unique binding between a country and a language. My suggestion is to use both the name of the language and the name of the country provided by the QLocale class in order to resolve any ambiguity.
