SUMMARY Plasma does not check whether the configured locale is actually valid/present on the system. One can set ``` [Formats] LANG=broken ``` in `~/.config/plasma-localerc` and Plasma will happily take it without a question. OBSERVED RESULT Plasma sets broken locale EXPECTED RESULT Plasma warns user that locale is broken through a notification with information how to fix this. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.16.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This happens for example when the system has a broken/non-installed language in /etc/locale.conf and the user launches Plasma. Or they later regenerate locales without the language Plasma is configured with. `localectl list-locales` or `locale -a` could possibly be used for detection of currently installed languages.
