Description Tyson Tan 2020-06-18 07:55:38 UTC
KDE Help Center only displays English documentation regardless of the current locale. I've already fully translated Elisa and wacomtablet for a very long time, but their documentation never showed the localized version,  only the application themselves are localized.

I'm using Manjaro KDE Plasma 20.0.4. Simplified Chinese locale.
Comment 1 Tyson Tan 2020-06-18 07:57:38 UTC
We also have fully translated Konsole's documentation for a long time, it is still English only this day.
Comment 2 Luigi Toscano 2020-06-18 08:32:56 UTC
It works at least for Italian. Just to be sure: does Manjaro fully ships the translated documentation under /usr/share/doc/HTML/<lang>?
Comment 3 Tyson Tan 2020-06-18 08:43:42 UTC
For some reason, Simplified Chinese cannot be found in that directory. I never installed Japanese/Korean, but they both have their folders there, but each of them has only 1 or 2 subfolders and that's it. I don't think they have the proper translation there either.

How may I found out whether it was not installed, or simply just a bug in the packaging?

There's no docs folder for zh_CN, translating docmessages is not enough you need to run 
  ./scripts/update_xml zh_CN
regularly to regenerate the docs from docmessages.

Please contact the kde-i18n-doc mailing list if you have questions about that.

Alright, thanks for the info!
