Hello, I've tried to change the language to English over the menu (help -> language (or similar)), but even after a restart of Krusader there was no change. System: Ubuntu 20.04, updated today, on a Dell notebook. Thanks
Created attachment 144355 [details] Screenshot Lnguage menu The screenshot is showing the window for changing the language immediately after opening it and without any change of the language. No idea why the GUI is in German, while the selected language is saying that "British English" is selected. But this isn't true. (German is the language of the Ubuntu 20.04. I've the same result with Linux Mint.) I've restarted Krusader several times without performing a language change. So this can't be the reason.
> [...] "British English" is selected. [...] German is the language of the Ubuntu 20.04. > I've the same result with Linux Mint. [...] If it may help anyone: Can you tell the result of executing `locale`? As an experiment: Is the language changed ─and Krusader works as you expect─ when executing: LANG=C krusader LANG=en krusader LANG=en_gb krusader LANG=en_gb.UTF-8 krusader ?
The result of 'locale' is: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= 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= If using 'LANG=C krusader' then I get a lot of warnings, but nevertheless Krusader is starting automatically in English (without any action from my side). It seems to work well. With 'LANG=en krusader' it's the same. But a few words are appearing in German, e.g. 'Cancel' is then shown as 'Abbrechen'. With 'LANG=en_gb krusader' and 'LANG=en_gb.UTF-8 krusader' it's the same as with 'LANG=en krusader'. So it seems that the first option is the best for me. The switching to English is only important for me to follow instructions or to describe in English what's not working well. I've performed the test only with Ubuntu 20.04, patched a few days ago. Thanks
*** Bug 427014 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Help -> Switch Language is some old artifact in your ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/krusader/krusaderui.rc, which is not refreshing due to another bug, and this will be fixed in v2.8.0. I think Krusader should respect locale, but buttons you mentioned could come from the system-wide setting. What do you have in System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Language?
The settings are only for German language. (English is additionally installed by default, but not selected.)
Is this still an issue? The problem should be fixed in version 2.8.0 and Krusader should respect the language set in the KDE system settings.
