It turned out that .desktop files which hold settings of Akonadi agents are read in the incorrect encoding which leads to broken strings in applications (e.g. KMail or Akonadiconsole) when using localized version of KDE (see the screenshots). There's a fix for that, so the review request link is about to be applied. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set some non-English locale in System settings. 2. Start e.g. Akonadiconsole. 3. Notice type string of agent summary. 4. Click "Add" button and notice descriptions of agents are with broken symbols.
Created attachment 96876 [details] Sample screenshot of the issue.

Git commit 1e164ae8d50b38c361595390543ebdeb45231777 by Alexey Chernov. Committed on 28/01/2016 at 11:52. Pushed by chernov into branch 'master'. Fix encoding of reading *.desktop files of Akonadi agents Explicitly set UTF-8 encoding of QSettings when reading *.desktop files of agents to prevent any encoding issues. Code parts of string conversion are also removed as now it's done in QSettings internally.

Git commit 393a20b6f9e154069da09c2a2f929f1a4e886d3d by Elvis Angelaccio. Committed on 29/02/2016 at 10:51. Pushed by elvisangelaccio into branch 'master'. Parse .desktop files using KDesktopFile This replaces the parsing done by QSettings. Since KConfig supports localized entries out of the box, there is no need anymore for custom code like the overloads with a language string as argument.
