Description wsyxbcl 2026-04-08 09:46:52 UTC

I receive this bug report from multiple macOS users, and I can't reproduce it myself as a linux user.

According to the affected users, digiKam does not switch its UI language to Simplified Chinese (zh_CN) on macOS. This has been reproduced by multiple users. And they are already using Chinese as their macOS system language, which doesn't appear to be the cause.

It work here, using current 9.1.0 pre-release.

Chinese translations are certainly incomplete as you can see some parts still in English, but mostly 85% are translated here.

The problem should be fixed with Bug 510941.

Thanks for mentioning 510941, the issue was reported to me before that fix, so this should have been fixed.
