1. Go to the Hardware, Input Devices settings, to the layout tab and choose Application switching policy. Also set your first layout to US and your second layout to RU 2. Open some application and switch to RU layout 3. Lock your screen and see the current locale. It will be RU, but should be US. Having password in Latin character set and entering password to unlock screen always requires you too look at the current layout because else you could enter something totally different. PS. Switching policy "Windows" works fine KDE Plasma version: 5.8.3 KDE Frameworks version: 5.27.0 Qt Version: 5.7.0
Kubuntu 17.04 plasma-desktop 4:5.9.4-0ubuntu1 plasma-framework 5.31.0-0ubuntu1 qt5-default:amd64 5.7.1+dfsg-2ubuntu4~1 Still reproduce. I guess it's not kcm_keyboard bug, but screenlocker or kwin.

Lock the screen OBSERVED RESULT Lockscreen uses keyboard layout sk EXPECTED RESULT Lockscreen should use default keyboard layout en SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2
Same bug on my system. Tested with us and pt-br kayboard layouts. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2
The freshest Kubuntu 20.10 and the "cleanest" installation - just boot to live CD, set additional layout, switch to this language, lock the screen, and voila! the language of lockscreen is not English.
I want to mark that this bug report is very stable, it has consistently one comment per year.
