[SailfishDevel] How to translate (lupdate) ?

[Oleksii Serdiuk]

Here's alternative and faster approach to setting LC_ALL.

I use QLocale().name() to get current locale code. This creates
QLocale instance which equals to QLocale::system() by default, but can
be changed by calling QLocale::setDefault().

Then, when I want to test another language, I just put

  QLocale::setDefault(QLocale(QLocale::Ukrainian, QLocale::Ukraine));

somewhere before language loading code. Works like a charm.
