Hi,
I'm currently struggeling with the setup of a user in a different language. The system-language is german, and the user language in KDE is set to English (which worked only after installing a second language in KDE - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422636 )
KDE and most KDE programs come up in English, but other programs - VirtualBox, Audacity, VLC still come up in german (-lang files installed)
test@X1E:~> export | grep LANG declare -x LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" declare -x LANGUAGE="en_US:de"
The second setting is probably made by KDE. Is there a way to get this single user fully set up in English?
Ideally in a simple manner for non-experienced users?
The programs that are still in German are Gnome based, not KDE based. You will have to modify the Gnome settings for the account to fix them.
VLC is listed as being one of the apps that remained in German. And VLC absolutely has no relation to GNOME - Its default UI is Qt based.
What seems odd is that KDE decided to rename LANG to LANGUAGE - and gettext (which is the default translator interface for apps) does not follow that. IMHO, KDE should export LANG next to LANGUAGE until the world has changed (so, forever)
Then, as a hack, I suggest creating .i18n file on home with this content: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=english KDE_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 I'm not sure it will work, but it might. It would be interesting to know. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
