well, it certainly does. we'll try now to find out what do you have misconfigured so that it does not work for you. I *suspect* that it's most likely that the locale variables are set for your shell sessions (e.g., when you run 'locale' from bash it outputs what you pasted) but not for kde apps. please do this: launch the kde "Run command" dialog (via Alt-F2) and run there: locale >/tmp/locale.kde and then send the output (which will be in the /tmp/locale.kde file). if that locale does not match what you get from bash, you probably need to specify LANG and perhaps some other LC_* variables in a place from which kde can grab them, e.g.: - /etc/environmnet - /etc/X11/Xsession.d/85some-file-you-manually-create - ~/.kde/env/somefile.sh the first two will require root access and will affect all users, the last one won't.
