With Turkish locale settings, I can not connect to a directory, which is shared using samba, under Windows operating system.

Install Kubuntu with Turkish local or change system locale to Turkish either via command line or system settings application. 2. Enter the URL of a directory shared using samba OBSERVED RESULT If I try to open a directory shared using samba by entering its URL to Dolphin's location bar, I get this message: EXPECTED RESULT If the URL of a directory shared using samba is entered to the location bar of Dolphin, that directory should be opened regardless of system's locale language.

Sorry, I forgot to add what happens when I try to connect to samba share: OBSERVED RESULT If I try to open a directory shared using samba by entering its URL to Dolphin's location bar, I am asked to enter user name and password. Although I enter the correct credentials, I am repeatedly asked for them. And If I cancel the operation, I get this message: Access denied to smb://something%5Cuser@IP/directory.
Exact same thing with German locale: $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ALL=
The bug persists in version 21.10. If I use tr_TR.UTF-8 as the region locale via System Settings > Regional Settings > Formats > Region, I can not access the shared SMB directory, which means that I am asked to enter credentials repeatedly. But, I can mount the directory as cifs using the below command: mount -v -t cifs //10.10.1.49/DIS-ILISKILER /media/numan/samba -o credentials=/etc/samba/credentials/share,iocharset=utf8,uid=numan,gid=numan mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=10.10.1.49,unc=\\10.10.1.49\DIS-ILISKILER,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,user=kmbsndemirdogen,domain=kmarasbsbel,pass=******** The user name for the SMB access is in the form of a NetBIOS name: kmarasbsbel\kmbsndemirdogen
