Summary: Krita Next AppImage fails to load translation if set
to use the same locale as the system
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version First nightly build (please specify the git hash!)
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Translation

Target Milestone: ---
Since Aug 14, 2025, Krita Next AppImage fails to load translation if set to use
the same locale as the system.
For instance, with my Linux set to American English, I can load all
translations without issues. However, switching to Japanese causes Krita to
fail loading the Japanese translation. This pattern is consistent for French,
Japanese, Simplified Chinese, etc.
It's worth noting that some strings translated directly by Qt still appear
correctly, such as in the File Type droplist.
The Windows nightlies are so far unaffected. So I think it is a AppImage
related packaging issue.
This exact issue happened before, but I can't recall how we solved it.
Additionally, even before this issue arose, Krita was missing some translations
across all languages—like the "Configure Language..." entry in the Settings
menu and parts of the Help menu. Which also happened before perhaps dues to
master/current branches mismatch.
Last unaffected:
krita-5.3.0-prealpha-b1ec16ebb9-x86_64.AppImage
Tested with:
krita-5.3.0-prealpha-10500870e8-x86_64.AppImage
