QLocale::uiLanguages() seems to not return names in gettext compatible format, \
but instead uses BCP47. And BCP47 cannot simply be converted to gettext locale codes \
by replacing - with _, that only works for "language-region" codes, but will fail \
once other elements of BCP47 are used.
No idea about Windows in general, but this is one of the changes to Ki18n in the \
commit span which resulted in the regression \

Andre, could you perhaps have a look and/or comment on the bug report? Thanks.
And perhaps add a comment to this code block in ki18n about it's fragile state :)
