Krita 5.0's news widget now supports multiple languages (if available on krita.org). But it requires the user to confirm before it shows anything. Currently, when enabling it for the first time, the language is set to English. Can we make it possible to auto-detect the current locale when enabling News for the first time? People probably don't expect Krita to have any news other than English, so they don't even bother to look :P. Maybe we can default it to English + Current locale (if available)? Tested: krita-nightly-x64-5.0.0-prealpha-afacd70a7a-setup.exe
It already does that though. If you start with a clean profile, the news language matching the current UI language will be selected by default, if there is one. Have you found a case in which this doesn't happen?
Yes, I think I've encountered such an instance. I was testing under Windows 10 21H1, using krita-nightly-x64-5.0.0-prealpha-afacd70a7a-setup.exe. I cleared the configuration files and all the resources. I started Krita a few times before switching on the News (which means nobody touched those settings). But when it was switched on for the first time, it was in English. Both the system and Krita was on Simplified Chinese when the News was switched on.
