Created attachment 108854 [details] settings KDE i am on Mageia 7 noyau : 4.14.0-desktop-1.mga7 arch: 64-bit Bureau : KDE5 Yesterday i loaded the update KMyMoney 4. 8. 1 from Mageia deposits. The KMMY controls are now in English. I verified KDE settings => everything is OK in french. I raised several times. KMMY remains in English !!! In KMMY 'Settings' / Settings language KDE => nothing happens (no window to adjust the language). My others KDE softs works correctly in french. I also have another problem that could be related to the previous one: the dates are in English: YYYY / MM / DD instead of DD / MM / YYYY in French. It's seems quite différent from bug 69332.
The reason for that is: you're using a KDE4 program in a KF5 environment which stores the information about the language and date format in a different position than the prior version does it. So the KDE4 libs have no chance to find that information and work with the standard settings. "KMMY 'Settings' / Settings language KDE" does not work for the same reason. You can try to get a KDE4 version of the systemsettings for Mageia 7. I found the KF5 version as systemsettings5 here on my openSUSE system. The resp. KDE4 version is called systemsettings. Hope that helps.
Thank you for your reply . You are very probably right. if I understand correctly, it would be necessary to find a file in systemsettings5 of KF5 and to transcribe the language informations in the systemsettings of KF4 ??? it seems difficult for me , given my computer level. Is there no way for Kmymoney to check the actual KDE version in service and to find the right information?
i am not alone with this problem. doest somebody help saying how to process to correct this . may be it's possible to patch the config file to use KF5 parameters ?
KDE4 and KDE Frameworks are completely separate collections of libraries and applications. I doubt anyone will work on a way for applications in one group to use configuration settings or tools from the other. In my opinion, this is a packaging error for the Mageia package of KMyMoney 4.8.1 to not depend on the KDE4 systemsettings.
Normally any KDE4 application has an option in the help menu to switch the language of the running application independently from basic systemsettings.
in fact this option exist but do'nt work. if we click on it nothing happens :=(
a bug had placed on Magéia too : https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22055
KDE4 apps saves there language settings into ~/.kde4/share/config/kmymoneyrc By chaning the following entry, or adding if not present [Locale] Language=fr kmymoney should have french gui.
I will check as soon as possible. on the other hand under Mga6 and Mga7 the date format is yyyy / mm / dd how to change to dd / mm / yyyy? thank you Le 25/02/2018 à 13:38, Ralf Habacker a écrit : > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386893 > > Ralf Habacker <ralf.habacker@freenet.de> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Resolution|--- |WORKSFORME > Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED > > --- Comment #8 from Ralf Habacker <ralf.habacker@freenet.de> --- > KDE4 apps saves there language settings into ~/.kde4/share/config/kmymoneyrc > By chaning the following entry, or adding if not present > > [Locale] > Language=fr > > kmymoney should have french gui. >
