FWICT that's from the installation env, in this case the KDE live.

FWICT that just sets it on the current pool, but doesn't necessarily write it
into the target system config?

Some weeks ago (aroud the time Plasma 6 was released) there were some reports
about missing translations, which were caused by missing zypper locale
configuration. The affected installations weren't that recent, so it's possible
it has been this way for longer already.
