Somehow Plasma does no longer respect my global / system wide settings of LANG/LC_ environment variables despite the fact, that I have selected "no change" and disabled the checkbox "detailed settings" in kcm_formats. This is traceable using the commands locale and env inside plasma and on some TTY: INSIDE PLASMA $ env | grep -e "LANG\|LC_" LANGUAGE= LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8 LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8 $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= ON TTY $ env | grep -e "LANG\|LC_" LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= I have tried to delete ~/.config/plasma-localerc, but this did not changed anything.

Thanks! 1942581 3 alexander.lohnau 2020-07-09 05:50:32 +0000 Yes this seems related to the MR, really sorry for causing issues :/ I would recommend reverting the commit since it causes issues and then settling for a different approach to the original issue. PS: The MR is not related to the invalid suggestions mentioned in BUG 403580, just saying. 1942596 4 till2.schaefer 2020-07-09 09:38:03 +0000 I can confirm that the mentioned commit is the issue.
