--- Comment #4 from Wolfgang Bauer <wba...@tmo.at> --- Regarding your original problem: I think one reason is that LANGUAGE is empty by default, despite what the "Language" settings module shows. I.e. applications are actually using what's defined by LANG. (On my system, with LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE empty, it shows "German (Default)" though, so that works as expected here I'd say) Only if you explicitly change the language(s) in the "Language" settings module, LANGUAGE will additionally be set to override (only) the language of applications. If you add German as a second language after "American English", LANGUAGE will be set to "en:de" (or similar). But as there (usually) are no "en" translations because the english strings are built-in, the german translations are used as a fallback. There is a bug report about this already, but I cannot find it right now. (Although, that's actually how gettext itself behaves anyway) So all in all I don't really see a bug in KDE here, just possibly confusing behavior of the "Language" KCM maybe, in the case that LANGUAGE is not yet set. On my system (Leap 15.1 with the latest Qt/Plasma/KF5 from additional repos), with LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 and LANGUAGE empty, it shows "German (Default)" though, so I don't really see what you see here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
