[Qt-interest] Formatting strings using arg() and system's locale

[Marcelo Magno T. Sales]

Sorry for the noise, I've found the problem. I had to use "%L1" instead 
of "%1" when formatting the string with QString::arg(). The only error 
in the documentation is the name of QLocale's method to set the default 
location, which is setDefault() and not setDefaultLocale().
