Created attachment 139596 [details] kfind.png SUMMARY I hope I chose the right component. Some strings in right click menus of input fields are not localized, like e.g. Undo/Redo/Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete. See attached screenshots. STEPS TO REPRODUCE (kfind) 1. open kfind 2. right click any text input field STEPS TO REPRODUCE (dolphin) 1. right click a file to rename it and see proper translated strings 2. right click in the highlighted input where you can type the filename and see untranslated strings EXPECTED RESULT Have everything properly localized. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can also reproduce this behaviour on a current up-to-date Fedora 34 KDE Plasma Session so this is not exclusive to Exherbo Linux. Everything else is properly localized, so I assume no user configuration error on my side. $ locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.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= Plasma is also setup with the proper non-english localization via systemsettings kcm.

How strange. For me these strings are localised correctly (Plasma 5.22.4 / KDE Neon). When you installed your distribution, did you already choose German, or have you changed the system language afterwards? If the latter is the case, it might be caused by a missing locale package, perhaps.
The peculiar thing is that only the simple strings like undo/redo/cut/paste/... are not translated. Looks somehow like missing QtBase locale to me. Could you check whether more Qt-based programs than just Dolphin and KFind are affected, please?
Would you paste or attach the ouput of `ls /usr/share/qt5/translations`, please?
*output If `qtbase_de.qm` is missing, then we may have found the cause.
(In reply to Manuel Geißer from comment #5) > *output > If `qtbase_de.qm` is missing, then we may have found the cause. Indeed! Huge thanks for that very insightful hint. Now I was just wondering that I couldn't find any translation sources included in the qtbase source tarball at all and just found out it's shipped in a separate tarball/package "qttranslations" which solves my problem with the missing files and of course also the inital problem I had. Again thanks and sorry for the noise, I'll see that I can add a suggestion/recommendation on qttranslations to our qtbase package to make things more obvious.
FYI: The same problem/solution exists on Fedora, might have to verify with a complete fresh installation, but on an else localized KDE Plasma desktop pre-installed via the "KDE Spin" the "qt5-qtranslations" package was missing there as well.
Nice! I think on KDE Neon the package is named `qttranslations5-l10n`.
