    <thetext>I receive this bug report from multiple macOS users, and I can&apos;t reproduce it myself as a linux user.

According to the affected users, digiKam does not switch its UI language to Simplified Chinese (zh_CN) on macOS. This has been reproduced by multiple users. And they are already using Chinese as their macOS system language, which doesn&apos;t appear to be the cause.

Chinese translations are certainly incomplete as you can see some parts still in English, but mostly 85% are translated here.</thetext>

Thanks for mentioning 510941, the issue was reported to me before that fix, so this should have been fixed.</thetext>
