Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs 4.2.1/Qt4.5. I have Russian locale set as default. As result all attributions during reply/forward are using Russian language. I use large number of English speaking lists and communities; Russian attributions are not useful for them; and often (due to character set mangling from list software) they become completely unreadable. I do not see *any* configuration option to change it. I do not want to change overall KDE language to English but as it stands now it seems to be the only way. I intentionally file this as a bug because it is regression against 3.5 where it was possible.
If the attributions are the texts inserted automagically in the reply/forward, they come from the templates. A template can use any combination of all the commands, so you can create them as you like. Please look at bug 188385 to know more about them.
Yes, that is what I mean (I do not know proper English term for them). OK so more about problem. Template contains: %REM="Default reply template"%- On %ODATE %OTIMELONG you wrote: I get: On 29 марта 2009 12:25:01 Jaime Torres wrote: Please notice that keyword are expanded depending on locale. That is exactly the problem - I obviously *do* want to use keywords (how otherwise am I supposed to exatrct e.g. message date) - but I do want to be able to specify language for expansion. On a side note, why do I get "Jaime Torres" instead of "you"? It almost looks like it is using "Reply to all" template all the times.
In the development version (kde 4.2.67), there are also the following templates macros that addressess your problem: %ODATEEN (date in C locale, english) %OTIMELONGEN (time in C locale, english) Look also for all the templates (including folder ones) to see which one it is using, you should get a "you" instead of me.
I'm closing this because: issue 1 can be solved with %ODATEEN etc. (at least in KDE 4.3), and issue 2 is a duplicate of 160215 (it uses reply-to-all template when a Reply-To header is given)
