We first look locale config in ~/.config/plasma-localerc, if the file or config entry is non-exist, we read value from enironment. Is your ~/.config/plasma-localerc different from the system-wide config, or the system-wide config does not affect the environment? my ~/.config/plasma-localerc different from the system-wide config.
my ~/.config/plasma-localerc content is [Formats]
LANG=C.UTF-8 (i intentionally installed my system with this locale )
after i changed my localed in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, if i do localectl it says:
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
and this is what my system follows.
~/.config/plasma-localerc has higher priority than environment variables. On kde start, the value in ~/.config/plasma-localerc should override the global one. in Region & Language, i changed Language to American English (en_US i think it is).
however, my plasma-localerc content is still LANG=C.UTF-8 not en_US.UTF-8.
and yes, i see n journalctl after booting it says :
nixos org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper[1891]: Detected locale "C" with character encoding "ANSI_X3.4-1968", which is not UTF-8.
Qt depends on a UTF-8 locale, and has switched to "C.UTF-8" instead.
If this causes problems, reconfigure your locale. See the locale(1) manual
for more information.
I think the locale does not get set in Region & Language, maybe related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488692 ?
