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. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

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. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm going to do submitreq later. Meanwhile, it's still nice to kill the empty $LANGUAGE in the KDE side. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
