Description Karl Ove Hufthammer 2023-08-05 11:42:09 UTC 
SUMMARY
The list of categories in the widget explorer is (almost) empty if the language settings are set to something different than English. For example, if you set the language to Norwegian Nynorsk, the only category visible is ‘Multimedia’ (probably because the name is the same in Norwegian and English).


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go the system settings, regional settings and change the language to Norwegian Nynorsk (= norsk nynorsk).
2. Log out and in again (for the language change to fully take effect).
3. Right-click on the desktop and choose ‘Legg til element …’ (= ‘Add Widget…’).
4. In the ‘Add Widget’ thing which appear, click ‘Alle element’.

OBSERVED RESULT
The list of categories only include ‘Multimedia’.


EXPECTED RESULT
The list of categories should contain many categories, just like it does if you run Plasma with English as the language.
