Gnome doing this already https://launchpadlibrarian.net/345780979/Language%20Support%20Not%20Installed.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1910692/comments/3 As i know now, check-language-support relies on language-pack-${LANG} package to install missing languages for apps, so after user switches language kde needs to do two things: 1. install package language-pack-${LANG} to selected by user language 2. ask to run check-language-support to actually install missing language packs for apps And locales for selected language needs to be generated, too. For locales there are report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384451 Actually, kcm does not need to generate locales, to generate locales it only needs to pull language-pack-ru, which itself pulls language-pack-ru-base, which itself generates locales in postinst using "/usr/share/locales/install-language-pack" command Gnome has utility to to all of this (installing language-pack-${LANG}, and running `check-language-support`), https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/language-selector-gnome
Can you provide an upstream link of where "check-language-support" comes from? And what bug this solves https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/+source/language-selector For example, initially my system was set to english, and now i'm switching language/locales to ukrainian, this creates two problems: 1. locales for selected formats/language is not generated, which causes LC_* env to fallback to "C.UTF-8" which creates problems like ark not opening archives correctly and other bugs, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384451 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430803 2. language packs and dictionaries (you can see it if you run `check-language-support --show-installed`) such as "firefox-locale-uk gimp-help-uk hunspell-uk and other" are not installed, leaving user with incomplete language support after switching. Installing `language-pack-${LANG}` after switching to corresponding language will fix problem one as this package generates locales, and user will have properly translated (instead of C.UTF-8) and working system (no ark problems or crashes related to C.UTF-8). Running `check-language-support` after switch to another language will install missing language packs and dictionaries. As you see, these two things can fix problems and make users happy, including me, who faced problems after switching language and locales. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! I provided needed info. Fedora has similar package https://pagure.io/system-config-language Related: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/560 I'm not quite sure how the Formats KCM factors into this though. It doesn't really need language-support, what it needs is locale definitions and I believe those only need compiling via locale-gen (which in turn is simply a wrapper for localedef). Someone would need to do research how all this ought to __actually__ work. Like, currently the formats KCM models QLocale's locale list but I'm sure that internally relies on Qt's embedded locale data not the system's theoretically generatable ones (/usr/share/i18n/locales). Then the locales need generating if they don't already exist (locale -a). Once the locale is generated it'd need adding to some file in /etc presumably (locale.gen?) https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/locale.1.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/localedef.1.html https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/8/locale-gen/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/locale https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/5efbd0bf897a990ebe43d7dc69141d87c404ac9a/src/locale/localed.c#L440 From glancing over the documention I don't expect the formats KCM needs distro specific code at all, it just needs to actually wire into the system-level locale infrastructure properly via a privileged kauth helper. *** Bug 430803 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit 134e2d5c989c36ac0e985ee0ae382996c6b7b56e by Han Young.
