It seems to be related to LANG settings when using qalculate-gtk.
To be more precise to LC_MESSAGES settings (locale)
- when LANG=fr_FR.utf8 (my default setting)
"300 kelvin à celsius" give 573,15 C (I can use "à" instead of "to"
with no impact on the bug)
- when LANG=C (doing "export LANG=C" in my bash terminal before running
qalculate-gtk)
"300 kelvin to celsius" give 26.85 C
In fact, just switching LC_MESSAGES back and forth is sufficient to
trigger the bug :
all LC_*=fr_FR.utf8 but LC_MESSAGES=C is ok
all LC_*=C but LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.utf8 is buggy

Hello Gregory,

"-300 kelvin to celsius" give -26.85 C (bad input but closer value.
sign error somewhere in the code ?)
note that qalc interface compute it correctly
300 kelvin to celsius
300 * kelvin = 26.85 oC
Sorry, I can't reproduce this. I tried on several machines and I always had the
correct result in both qalc and qalculate-gtk.
You reported another bug last year which I can't reproduce (#528491), but
someone else reported the same bug (#472560). I guess the bug is confirmed and
should be fixed but I don't know how. I'll report it upstream.
