Description Teddy 2018-05-07 15:32:28 UTC 
I've installed KDE on Fedora 28 workstation, which installs gnome by default. I've installed it with a localized language different than english. After switching to english, most things in UI change accordingly, however Audio Volume Settings still shows strings in the old language:

- Audio Volume > Devices tab
- Audio Volume > Advanced tab > both the device name and in Profile > shows localized instead of "Off"

Fixed the problem with these commands and restarting after that:

$ localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8
$ sudo -i
# localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.utf8

The GUI should handle this properly. Please fix and improve this.

There's no such thing as KDE. I guess you mean Plasma?
Comment 6 Albert Astals Cid 2018-05-07 21:09:11 UTC 
I couldn't find a component for the language kcm, so assigning to general plasmashell.

Someone rewrote this for the next version as far as i remember, would be good to check if this still happens or not
Comment 7 Teddy 2018-05-12 11:28:17 UTC 
Yes i mean Plasma.
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2021-01-06 00:23:32 UTC 
Is is still happening for you with a recent version of Plasma, like 5.18 or 5.20?
