SUMMARY Sometimes the text is shown in Spanish (as it should be), sometimes in English (for some reason). OBSERVED RESULT ➤ Applications like Dolphin show the menus in English, and folders like "Documentos" (Spanish for "Documents") are shown in the "places" panel as "Documents". ➤ Plasmoids mix Spanish and English somehow (see screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/MNbmjCJ.png). ➤ For apps like System settings, it's much trickier, since the categories are shown in Spanish but the menus and configurations are in English (see screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/rRAlJ70.png) EXPECTED RESULT Everything is shown in Spanish. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I tried manually modifying the language and going back to Spanish + pressing "Apply" and restarting to see if the error persisted (it does).
Can you click "Modify" on the list item where it shows the language and attach a screenshot of the page that you see?

[this is what it shows](https://i.imgur.com/wdkzoBo.png): the language is Spanish ("español de España"); I shared the screenshot after pressing "Change language" just to show this too, but I'm not modifying this setting.
Thanks. Is this a regression from how it was before? Or was it always like this? Or are you unable to determine because you just recently started using Plasma, or Plasma in Spanish?
I ask because I see on https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf5/team/ that Spanish translations are only 91% complete for Plasma 5, so that might explain it.

It happened from one day to the other, I have been using Plasma on Arch for almost a year, and it's been working fine in Spanish. I checked the remaining 9% is in regards with Krita, Digikam and a couple of more apps; I'm just a regular user, but it doesn't sound to me like it should affect the menus, or the plasmoids. This information is probably very irrelevant but: - This happens with both X11 and Wayland - I remember checking something regarding an alias to LC_ALL, so just in case, here's the reply of typing the command "locale" on the terminal: locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No existe el fichero o el directorio LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_TIME=es_IC.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
FIXED! Just edited the file /etc/locale.conf (and maybe an unnecessary source /etc/profile.d/locale.sh) to: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_NAME=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8 But changing the timezone again from "Default (Madrid, Spain)" to "Canary Islands (Spain)" (plus a reboot) somehow breaks some kind of configuration setting. I needed to change it back and reboot to make it right, but it worked only *after* the locale.conf was set as I show above, before it was just the first line.
I'm checking this again, and looks like I missed this message (in English, which surprises me) when changing the timezone: > Locale has been configured, but this KCM currently doesn't support auto locale generation on your system, please refer to your distribution's manual to install fonts and generate locales So I'll close the issue since this seems to be outside of Plasma capabilities.
