Bug ID: 417420
Summary: Regional Settings Language additions resulting in some
confusion
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.16.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_language
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: sadiyumu...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After installation and login for the first time, the user encounters an empty
Language window in Regional Settings, and adding several different languages
there results a locale confusion affecting several applications in varying
degrees (including Dolphin, Konsole, VLC Media Player, etc.)
In my case, I added Turkish after US English and UK English, and after logout
and login, I found some apps trying to use Turkish as instead of English.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Settings > Personalization: Regional Settings > Language
2. Add Turkish in the third row after American English (Default) and British
English.
3. Check VLC, Konsole (e.g. executing: sudo apt purge), Dolphin (right-clicking
a file or folder, selecting Properties, and seeing what's shown next to Type:)
OBSERVED RESULT
I saw Dolphin showing only file types in Turkish (everything else in English),
Konsole partially displaying Turkish messages as output from terminal commands
(like "sudo apt purge") probably due to some missing translations, and VLC
entirely assuming current system language is Turkish - while the entire system
remained in English as expected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Adding additional languages should not cause any such confusion and at any rate
automatic replacement of the primary language.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 19.10
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0
Qt Version: 5.12.4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. When I entered the first and second languages, there was no problem, but
adding Turkish as the third language crashed the System Settings at first. So I
could only do it in two steps.
2. I have returned to KDE after some years of separation, and I intend to stay
this time thanks to the level of maturity reached as a result of great efforts.
