Description Andreas 2026-02-02 12:26:06 UTC 
I used Kde Plasma for years. I use the english language fo the OS but change localization to danish. The representation of the danish phone numbers are wrong. There are no area-codes but a 8-figure number both for landline and mobile phones like this: aa bb cc dd.
The Kingdom of Denmark has 3 country-codes as Greenland and the Faroe-islands has their own country-codes:
Denmark +45
Greenland +299 own numbering system
Faroe islands +298 own numbering system

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. regional settings
2. select country

The Region & Language setting config the Locale not country. The "Danmark" means "Danmark" locale (da_DK.UTF-8). You can search Greenland and Faroe Islands, they have their own entries.

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/da_DK;hb=5176a830e70140cb3390c62b7d41f75dbbf33c7c#l251

You'll need to file a bug report with glibc. The locale definition lists an area code placeholder.
