Public bug reported:
The System Settings->Locale->Country/Region & Language->Languages module
is setting a wrong value for the LANGUAGE environment variable in
~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh which leaves some programs running in English
and some in other languages.
To reproduce:
1. The System Settings->Locale->Country/Region & Language->Languages
2. Install a couple of different languages, in this example British English,
American English, German and Spanish
3. Order Preferred Languages to (top to bottom): American English, British
English, German, Spanish
4. Apply, ok, logout of KDE, log back in
Actual Results:
Some programs are in English (KDE/QT programs, Firefox, Libreoffice), while
some are in German (GTK programs like GIMP, all bash command line programs,
e.g. tim@localhost:~$ ls filenotthere
ls: Zugriff auf filenotthere nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht
gefunden)
cat ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en:de:es:en
export LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_NAME=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8
Expected Results:
All programs are in English as American English and British English have the
highest preferences, and all software includes translations for at least
American English
Workaround
Manually set export LANGUAGE=en in ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh
