this on the docs.
I'm not too familiar with wxWdgets, but in all related to Qt I must admit that Qt does not plays well (if at all) with standard C++ library and STL.
It has its own string (QString) its own character (QChar - two bytes) its own locale object (QLocale) and its own tools for localization.
Of course nothing prevents from you using Boost.Locale with Qt however it would be bounded and limited by the integration of Qt with STL.
For example you would likely want to use things like
QString s=QString::fromStdString((format(translate("The time is {1,time}")) % time).str());
I've gotten around this issue, and similar issues with other libraries, by having a "string_cast<>()" function. I now what I need the string to be to pass off to whatever API but I don't have to care what kind of string it is to begin with. I've found it quite convenient.
