Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-02-10 12:15:20 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Well, it maybe should be a wish but LANG is so standard thing that it is hardly to be ignored.

No matter what I set as LANG kile default encoding is ISO-8859-1. It is incorrect, the default one should be based on LANG.

KDE 3 does *not* make use of LANG.
Set KDE_LANG or it.

Comment 2 Pino Toscano 2008-02-10 12:27:56 UTC

> Set KDE_LANG or it. 
Intended: "Set KDE_LANG for changing the language of a KDE 3 application".

And, I think KDE 4 can use LANG as well.

(Note also comment #5 of bug #134993 .)

Pino, thank you for the replies.

> KDE 3 does *not* make use of LANG. 

This is odd (and I read the mentioned report, thank you) -- I use KDE 3.5.8 but there are no KDE_LANG related system variables in the system!

This is also not true I guess -- I just checked Krusader for example. It reacts on LANG (good) but not on KDE_LANG.

Just of curiosity I set KDE_LANG manually and Kile ignored this as well.

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
