This very confusing UI has been fixed in Plasma 5.25, where both pages were combined into one and their settings play well together. Such a huge change is not backportable to 5.24, I'm afraid. |
Created attachment 152903 [details] settings SUMMARY Under Regional Settings, there is a) Language and b) Formats. Language should control...language. However, language is controlled by Formats: Region. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set Format: Region to es_CR (Costa Rica) 2. Set Language to: American English 3. Restart your session 4. Result: the KDE UI is localized to Spanish, despite the Language setting having been specified as English Please remember: Region is not equivalent to Language. OBSERVED RESULT Setting Language to English is ignored if Region has a different "default" language. EXPECTED RESULT Language should be independently settable from Region. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION $LANG gets set to es_CR in this case. If LANG is supposed to represent language, shouldn't it track...Language? Screenshots showing issue attached.
