Same here, /etc/locale.conf has LANG=en_US.UTF-8, and Language is "American English (Default)", but LANG environment variable seems to be set by the Region settings (fr_FR.UTF-8 for me). The workaround is to either : - select "United States" as region (sets LANG), and choose the detailed settings (sets different LC_*) - select "No change" as region (presumably keeps what has been set by /etc/locale.conf, but reads back as "United States"), and ignore the broken kcm (detailed settings seems to be read from the environment, but the preview in "Description" doesn't match). Also the same thing here, it doesn't seem to happen when i have multiple languages set (e.g. American english and British english). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 344588 *** Can you provide the output of the following commands: 1. `locale` 2. `cat ~/.config/plasma-localerc` If this bug is still happening to you, can you provide the output of the following commands: 1. `locale` 2. `cat ~/.config/plasma-localerc` After selecting France as region in Formats, with still American Engligh in Language : - everything is in French (since LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LANGUAGE environment variable is set but empty) - `locale` : LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL= - ~/.config/plasma-localerc : [Formats] LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 Adding a second language in the KCM adds to ~/.config/plasma-localerc : [Translations] LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB Then the LANGUAGE environment variable is set, which makes KDE switch back to English, but Firefox is in French. So : - the Formats KCM sets LANG, instead of LC_* : is there a specific reason for this ? - the Language KCM doesn't set anything, unless there are several languages in the list : IHMO it should set LANG to the preferred language, and set LANGUAGES if there are several languages You're suffering from Bug 344588. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 344588 *** |
