Changing the date names in QCalendar widget

I want to change names of weekdays and months, in accordance to my locale (croatian locale) within QCalendar widget of the PyQt4 project.

The documentation referring to the problem does have some methods to change the first day of the week and so on, but I never found a way to actually do it.

Is there any way to change it from inside the code or are the names associated with a particular locale that is set up on one Linux or Windows system?

You shouldn't need to do this. Qt should determine the correct locale to use from your system settings. If the correct locale is set, the calendar-widget will show the correctly translated names. You can check this by manually setting the default locale, like so:

    QtCore.QLocale.setDefault(QtCore.QLocale('hr_HR'))

But as I say, it really shouldn't be necessary to do this. You can check the default system locale that Qt is using by doing:

    loc = QtCore.QLocale.system()
    print(loc.name())

If this does not show the correct language, then either your system locale settings are incorrect, or the version of Qt you are using is buggy. One example of a bug that might affect you is this one, which was not properly fixed until Qt-4.8.5.
