Bug Description

Mixxx 2.4-alpha-1398-g9c4e2f1d1a (main)
macOS 13.1

macOS set to english as primary language with german as secondary language. Region set to germany in case that plays a role, although it shouldn't.
Mixxx set to Language: System

Currently

Mixxx UI is german.

Expected

Mixxx UI should be english since it would be expected for Mixxx to follow system language.

The simple workaround obviously is to just set Mixxx language to english. Still found this to be unexpected behavior and thus reporting.

Version

2.4 alpha

OS

macOS 13.1

There is probably a bug in Qt that is fixed in Qt 6.2
https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commits/24e8a693cdf418a90559472addfd49637ff4e270/src/corelib/text/qlocale_mac.mm

Maybe this one:

The Qt call and the native getMacLocalName() return the same:

Debug [Main]: QLocale::system() = QLocale(English, Latin, Germany)
Debug [Main]: getMacLocaleName() = "en_DE"

I have tried to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu Focal by manual edit the mixxx.cfg to

Locale en_DE

But it uses English as expected.

Please check that as well.

Additional testing:

open ~/Library/Containers/org.mixxx.mixxx/Data/Library/Application Support/Mixxx/mixxx.cfg`
edit Locale and use Locale en_DE
save and start mixxx

Mixxx launches with en UI.

What does echo $LANG return? For me it is de_DE.UTF-8
