Created attachment 168755 [details] Status as of 21-April-24 This is a regression from KDE Plasma 5. The clock text number is not following the system locale. My locale is ar_OM.UTF-8 which follows Eastern Arabic numerals. However, the time is displayed in English numerals. Please note that the tool tip is displaying the numbers correctly in my locale. I'm using KDE neon unstable git20240420.
Confirming in Plasma 6.1.1: My system locale is Greek, but time in digital clock is displayed in US locale (e.g. 9:24 PM). Confirming also that the tooltip follows the greek locale correctly.
Can reproduce with `LANG=ar_OM plasmashell --replace` Numbers in other places look correct, e.g. the calendar days, or temperature in the weather widget. Seems to be limited to clock digits.
I have a possible fix for this. It uses the 'Number' format, rather than the 'Time' format, that's just how Qt determined it. Is that acceptable?
Maybe? Might as well submit and we'll see what people think.
