Description Michael Tsang 2022-01-12 14:40:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I signs in to Plasma session from SDDM, it sets LANG=C.UTF-8 but not honouring the default locale settings.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the default system locale to follow:

LANG=yue_HK.UTF-8
LANGUAGE="yue_HK:zh_HK:zh_TW:zh_CN:zh"
LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8

2. Sign in Plasma session from SDDM

OBSERVED RESULT
locale outputs C.UTF-8 except LC_MONETARY and LANGUAGE

EXPECTED RESULT
locale output yue_HK.UTF-8 instead

This should be fixed in Plasma 5.24. Please re-open if you find that it's not fixed yet after you upgrade to Plasma 5.24 and reboot.
