Description Matthieu Carteron 2025-08-07 12:06:21 UTC

SUMMARY
In the System Settings application, when I go to the "Task Scheduler" section (handled by KCron), all the text appears in english instead of the system language.
It's like the translation ".mo" file isn't correctly loaded by KCron, although the aformentioned text appears well translated in the source code.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Open the Task Scheduler section
3. Observe the text (for example, "User Schedule", "System Schedule")

OBSERVED RESULT
The texts appears in english.

EXPECTED RESULT
The text should appears localized in the system language.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I insist it's a translation loading bug, and certainly not a case of forgotten or missing translation by the localization team: the strings are well translated in the KCron source code! Just not loaded once built.
If needed, my system language is French.

Comment 4 Victor Ryzhykh 2025-08-14 11:06:50 UTC

Translation into other languages has not worked in kcron for a very long time.
I've been fixing this with a patch since version 24.12.0.

Neon

It doesn't help.
Here is an image of Neon OS installed from install image https://mirrors.xtom.ee/kde-application/neon/images/unstable/20250803-1148/neon-unstable-20250803-1148.iso
And now updated to the latest state in the master branch.
The kcron package is made from these sources https://origin.archive.neon.kde.org/unstable/pool/main/k/kcron/kcron_25.04.3+p24.04+vunstable+git20250813.0206.orig.tar.xz
There is no translation in kcron.
Now I have remade the patch for my kcron build, version 25.08.0.
Just made a package, but forgot to replace kcron with kcm_kcron in the patch.

Fix

My patch.

Comment 7 Victor Ryzhykh 2025-08-14 11:20:52 UTC

I'll double check now.
I'll make a kcron package without the patch.

Rosa OS, kcron-25.08.0

Disabled the patch and made the package kcron-25.08.0.
Translation is missing.

kcron with patch.

I included the patch in the package again.
Now the translation to kcron has appeared.

Comment 10 Matthieu Carteron 2025-08-14 12:52:48 UTC

GG. Thanks for the fix.

Comment 11 Victor Ryzhykh 2025-08-16 08:17:07 UTC

This commit fixed the translation display.
