--- Comment #1 from Takashi Iwai tiwai@novell.com 2009-09-21 02:25:15 MDT --- It should read: % LANGUAGE=ja man man
With my test, it works even by unsetting $LANGUAGE: % unset LANGUAGE % man man
where $LANGUAGE contains an empty string.
So, the empty $LANGUAGE variable can cause problems on some apps like man. Maybe $LANGUAGE overrides the setup of $LANG. There was a report that yakuake suffers from the same problem.
Can $LANGUAGE be just unset if not set in KDE? It's a safer option than fixing each possible application, IMO.

--- Comment #3 from Takashi Iwai tiwai@novell.com 2009-09-21 03:08:01 MDT --- This looks rather like a problem of nroff.
The nroff shell script prefers $LANGUAGE but doesn't check whether it's empty or not. The patch below should fix the issue of man, at least.

Meanwhile, it's still nice to kill the empty $LANGUAGE in the KDE side.

I'm helping with a cleanup of KDE bugs that are from obsolete versions or may no longer be valid. This is so the developers can focus on developing openSUSE 11.3
Here is some information about this:

***Takashi, has this be resolved for you now?
Cheers Steve
