SUMMARY It’s not possible to translate the names of the default colour schemes. They are called ‘Breeze Dark’, ‘Breeze High Contrast’ etc. The names are meaningful, and should be translatable. Note that corresponding names of desktop themes, cursor themes, icon themes, and widget styles *are* translatable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Observe that that the colour scheme names are shown in English no matter what language settings you have. 2. Observe that none of translation files for the colour schemes (https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/en_GB/kde-workspace/) contain strings for the various colour schemes (e.g. for ‘Breeze High Contrast’).
It just uses the filename of the scheme. Perhaps we could introduce a Name= key to a [General] section of the .colors file, but that also needs wiring up scripty to extract those.

That is easy, see https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Localization/i18n_Build_Systems#Translating_.desktop_Files <quote> ... you have to create an ExtraDesktop.sh file that outputs the path of those files #! /bin/sh find -name *colors -print </quote> Adding ExtraDesktop.sh files to plasma-desktop/kcms/colors/schemes and breeze/colors should work afaik
Cool! I'll give it a shot, thanks a lot
