http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932158 --- Comment #2 from David Medina --- Ok, it turns out that I hadn't these -lang packages installed. I don't know how I overlooked them searching for something missing. I installed them and logged out and in again and Plasma 5 was localized. I have never disabled anything from installing since I reinstalled Tumbleweed from scratch last november, when it was merged with Factory. The only regular maintenance I perform is 'zypper ref' and 'zypper dup', a part from installing programs I use from Yast's software manager. So with the upgrade to Plasma 5.3 theese -lang packages weren't pulled in. This has certainly happened to other people I know, with other locales. I confirm that some application entries, service menus and device manager actions still appear unlocalized. Thanks a lot! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I just want to add that the contents of 'configure KDE 4 applications' appear localized and in 'configure desktop' still don't, and they contain mostly the same items. Do both use the same translation file? No, they don't use a translation file at all (in both cases). The translations are stored together with the english string inside a .desktop file. Those .desktop files get stripped of all translations (the translations are moved to the package desktop-translations), but in KF5 the patch to read the

Should I try to get rid of 'configure KDE 4 applications'? No.

I have 'systemsetting-lag' installed. Hm? What's that?

Also the information about widgets appers unlocalized like 'application launcher', but the content is. Yes, those translations are also part of the corresponding .desktop files that get moved to desktop-translations and need that patch to be respected.

I have seen that this doesn't happen on a distribution with only Plasma 5, with the same locale; It does.

But it doesn't happen if you install Plasma5 from the KDE:Frameworks5 repo or the 13.2 update repo, as the .desktop files do not get stripped of their translations in those repos. And yes, "desktop-translations" is (open)SUSE-specific, so such a problem does not happen on other distributions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

...

I meant 'systemsettings-lang'. It was not installed first, but nothing changed.

Ah, ok. Well, this only contains the translations for systemsettings (the application) itself. As mentioned, the categories' translations are normally inside their .desktop files (that describe/specify the categories in the first place). But they are moved to the package "desktop-translations" on openSUSE and would therefore need that patch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932158 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932158#c7 --- Comment #7 from David Medina --- Hello, Today, after a normal "zypper dup" of Tumbleweed, the panel, the application launcher, the application menu and the widgets are back in English, although the configuration points to another language. The contents of "Configure Desktop" are still in English too, they have never appeared localized. On the other hand, the contents of "Configure KDE 4 applications" are localized. I installed "plasma5-desktop-lang" and "plasma5-workspace-lang" when you mentioned them before. Sorry if you already know... Thanks again for your attention. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932158 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932158#c8 --- Comment #8 from Wolfgang Bauer --- Well, I noticed today that there's an additional problem, not only the missing patch mentioned already (to read from desktop-translations): The Plasma5 packages install the translations to /usr/share/locale/kf5/, where they apparently are not found. The package ki18n does contain a patch to look for translations in /usr/share/locale/kf5/ (and "/usr/share/locale-bundle/kf5"/"/usr/share/locale-langpack") too. But that either doesn't work (any more), or is not sufficient for all situations where translations are loaded. Copying the mo files from /usr/share/locale/kf5/XX/LC_MESSAGES/ to /usr/share/locale/XX/LC_MESSAGES/ should fix most translations (except those that are in a *.desktop file directly). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932158 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932158#c10 --- Comment #10 from Wolfgang Bauer --- Hm, apparently with this patch it tries to open files like this: /usr/share/locale/kf5/de/LC_MESSAGES/de/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_org.kde.plasma.kicker.mo which fails for obvious reasons... The patch added a /XX/LC_MESSAGES/ to the directory path that it returns although it shouldn't (actually it gets the absolutePath() of the found translation file). Just returning the locale dir ("/usr/share/locale/kf5/" and so on) fixes this problem. I submitted a package with the fixed patch, "normal" translations should fully work then. Now only the kservice patch to read the translations for *.desktop files from desktop-translations is missing still AFAICT. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
