Description Thomas Reitelbach 2006-05-24 18:49:34 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Answer 10.1 in the KDE FAQ (http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/faq/configure.html#id2558064) ist wrong.
The correct variable for setting the language in KDE is no longer $LANG but $KDE_LANG instead.
