Description ubuntu.dj 2010-08-27 10:01:31 UTC

Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.0) 
OS:                Linux

Some time ago i setup kubuntu 8.10, with :
 - digikam -> v0.9.3 (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/digikam/2:0.9.3-2ubuntu1)
 - kde -> 3.4.3  (cf: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/kde/5:47)

Then i upgrade to 9.04, then to 10.04:
 - digikam 1.2.0, KDE 4.4

One user was using digikam a lot.
After the upgrade he had some localiartion problems:
 - messages in splashscreen and menus are no more translated to french

I had to remove $/.kde directory to get the right translation back.

And now, my questions / wishes:
1) I think I should not have to remove .kde directory after ubgrade ?

2) If removal of .kde is recommended after upgrade, KDE have to detect and ask me do d othat !



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Some time ago i setup kubuntu 8.10 (or may be 9.04)
Setup french language
Use digikam (splashscreen messages are in french)
upgrade to kubuntu 10.04

Launch digikam (same user as previous)


Then i upgrade to 9.04, then to 10.04:

Actual Results:  
Digikam splashscreen messages and some menu items are in english 

Expected Results:  
Digikam should be fully in french !


With a newly created user, digikam messages are well treanslated.
-> that's why i suspected .kde directory

I think there is some localization cache (in .kde directory) that is not cleaned during upgrade ?

Certainly not

You do not have to do that. It's your settings after all.

Never heard of that. Maybe your user changed the language settings.
Or any other package problem. In any case, not a problem to be fixed in digikam code.
