Created attachment 186409 [details] The welcome screen of Plasma 6.5, showing wrong version of preview. *** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Please remove this comment after reading and before submitting - thanks! *** SUMMARY In the update Welcome screen, middle preview screen does not return the translated version of the preview. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Update Plasma to 6.5 or newer 2. Reboot 3. Welcome for update opens, but it does not returns the translated version. OBSERVED RESULT When downloading preview, only the English version of it returns. EXPECTED RESULT It should have detected system language and returned the translated one. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 43 / KDE Plasma KDE Plasma Version: 6.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm afraid I do not have time until later today to post instructions, but what I would need to know is the value of QString languageCode on line 147: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-welcome/-/blob/master/src/release.cpp?ref_type=heads#L147 This can be found using GDB, placing a breakpoint on that line in release.cpp and printing the contents of the variable, which might be complex due to being a QString. I will provide better instructions later today. Alternatively, Welcome Center could be built with qDebug() << languageCode; inserted below that line, and it would print it when ran in the terminal.
Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce the issue after changing the language and restarting. I assume that the 'tr' language code is correctly inserted into the URL. We'd need to know the language code that it detects on your system. Unfortunately placing a GDB breakpoint wouldn't work because release builds appear to optimise it away. You'd need to build plasma-welcome yourself, and then place a qDebug() that prints the language code. I'll add a way for release builds to log this information. If you're unwilling or unable to build a modified application yourself, we would at least be able to know when 6.6 releases, and more easily as well for any future such issues that occur.

Add logging categories and enhanced logging This commit adds proper support for Qt logging categories to Welcome Center. Additional logging is added to KDED for what we're doing when we're launching, as we've seen bugs or non-obvious behaviour in this area before. In order to help with release preview localisation issues (see: CCBUG), logging is also added to Release::getPreview().

In 6.5.2, Welcome Center will now log the URL used for the announcement preview. Just run it in a terminal with: plasma-welcome --post-update and you should see it.
