Description MohammadSaleh Kamyab 2022-11-23 13:15:03 UTC 
Persian is not listed in languages and the only way to set language to Persian is to edit `plasma-localerc` file.
Please add it.
Thanks!

So you're saying your system uses the Persian language correctly if you manually edit the config file, but the language doesn't appear in the language list?

Translation of KDE to Perisan is realy poor, but when I manually edit config file, It become RTL (Right-To-Left) and also I can see some Persian strings. 
But it is not in the languages list.

Ok, so the problem is that some software on the system is translated into Persian, but Persian isn't listed as valid language in the language list, even though using it (kind of) works. Thanks.

probably because Persian is not in "plasmashell" domain. We get the available languages via `m_availableLanguages = KLocalizedString::availableDomainTranslations("plasmashell").values()`

Most likely there is no `plasmashell.po` in https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf5/fa/messages/plasma-workspace/
