Comment 2 Germo 2023-12-15 13:00:31 UTC
The other https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478541 was also reported by me, but is something very different.

I try to be more clear:

When I installed 8.2.0 then digiKam settings worked fine. It was possible to change the main language and the settings have been applied.

After upgrading to 8.3.0 (the beta or pre-realease digiKam-8.3.0-20231214T211706-Win64.exe) the main language settings have no effect. They are just ignored. It is not possible to switch the GUI to English.

But I want to switch to English, because most documentation and help is in English, and therefore it is easier to use the program in English.

GUI will not switch to German

Here is a screenshot. Settings are US-English, but GUI will not change. Restart of the program doesn't switch.
