Bug ID: 456050
Summary: Adding second langue turns language into dutch no
matter where I put it.
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.25.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_language
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: ca...@alinoe.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings --> Personalization --> Regional Settings --> Language
2. Add on top of "American English (default)" the language "Nederlands". Put
"Nederlands" at the bottom.
3. Save, reboot, run plasma/kde
4. On konsole prompt type an error (for example: sudo foobar). It will report
an error in Dutch. The direct reason for seeing Dutch is (apparently) due to
the environment variable LANGUAGE which is set to "en_US:nl". Changing that
into "nl:en_US" doesn't make a difference: still dutch error messages.
Only when changing LANGUAGE into "en_US" you get English error messages.
OBSERVED RESULT
EXPECTED RESULT
Everything is still 100% English (en_US), but now spelling checking also works
when I type in Dutch.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is another bug; if you choose in the list of Formats (not Language) en_NL
- then everything breaks because that locale doesn't exist and is not
supported. I think it SHOULD be supported: everyone in the Netherlands speaks
English - this basically a two-language country, one of them being English. Aka
en_NL makes a LOT of sense, exactly like all the other en_XY locales.
Nevertheless, if I select it, then I expect it to work - and it doesn't: you
can't generate that locale because certain idiots think it is not needed and
refuse to add it (see for example
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14085)
