[Scummvm-devel] setlocale() doesn't work at Symbian

[Fiodar Strizhniou]

I create bugreport month ago about bad colours in most scenes in Zvision engine games. I get point to wrong setlocale() settings in some backends. I create and run test app. Nothing works(see screenshot). Also i have read somewhere in Symbian Sdk docs what setlocale doesnt work at Symbian.
Always yours, Strizhniou Fedor.

You don't use a correct value for the locale

You would want something like:
setlocale(LC_ALL,"en_GB.ISO-8859-1");

Having said that, check backends/platform/sdl/sdl.cpp, where it does this:
const Common::String locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, "");

// Restore default C locale to prevent issues with
// portability of sscanf(), atof(), etc.
// See bug #3615148
setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");

Be careful when changing the locale, you need to reset it afterwards (as
the comment mentions).
