hiya,

since kde 2.x i have a multiscreen environment with two different monitors and resolutions in traditional mode. actually i run suse 9.0.

the first screen 1280x1024 and the second 1024x768.

maybe it's a bug in suse's wm, but maybe not ;-)

my default language is german (also set in kcontrol). everything works fine,only the language on screen 2 in popups, kde-menu and the icon-description is always english since kde 2.x (suse 7.x). if i run a application on it, then it is in german, what i prefer.

i've tried anything, but i can't change the language to german on desktop1. there are 2 or 3 entries on google since 2002 about this. but i never found a 'workaround' for this problem.

this is /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdeglobals:

# Local users will get RC_LANG as their default language, i.e. the
# environment variable $LANG . $LANG is the default of all $LC_*-variables,
# as long as $LC_ALL is not set, which overrides all $LC_-variables.
# Root uses this variable only if ROOT_USES_LANG is set to "yes".
#
RC_LANG="de_DE@euro"

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
#
# This variable will override all LC-variables!!
# Again, ROOT_USES_LANG must be set to "yes", if an effect on the superuser
# account is desired.
#
RC_LC_ALL="de_DE@euro"

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
#
# This defines the locale in which messages of programs and
# libraries with i18n-support should appear if a translated
# message catalog for the library or the program is installed.
# This also provides localized yes/no answers.
#
RC_LC_MESSAGES=""

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
#
# This defines the locale for character handling and classification.
# The libc uses this value in language dependent function calls, such
# as e.g. uppercase/lowercase mapping of foreign characters.
#
RC_LC_CTYPE=""

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
#
# This defines the locale for sorting strings and characters.
# It is used by the libc to obtain the alphabetical order of characters
# (e.g. for string comparisons).
#
RC_LC_COLLATE=""

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
#
# This defines the locale for date and time output formats.
# i.e.: 06/09/1999 vs. 09.06.1999
#
#
RC_LC_TIME=""

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
#
# This defines the locale for formatting and reading numbers.
# i.e.: 1,234.56 vs. 1.234,56
#
RC_LC_NUMERIC=""

## Type:        string
## Default:     ""
#
# This defines the locale for formatting and reading money values.
#
RC_LC_MONETARY=""

## Type:        string(ctype)
## Default:     ctype
#
# This defines if the user "root" should use the locale settings
# which are defined here.
# Value "ctype" means that root uses just LC_CTYPE.
#
ROOT_USES_LANG="yes"
