At first try to install the german-language-package from suse-fileserver again, otherwise let us know the complete errormessage.
And have a look in the SDB (both German as well as English). I'm thinking about "Änderungen am Desktop von root bleiben nicht erhalten" (17.04.2002), http://sdb.suse.de/de/sdb/html/thallma_rootkde_80.html (Sorry non-germans, this page is only in german ;-), translated: Root desktop changes are not permanent).
Maybe this article applies to you.

Thanks for the help, but that does not help. I reinstalled the german language-pack, but it had no effect. As in SuSE-supportdatabase reportet, creating a file called kdebase3 in the /root/.skel - directory, did not help either.
I would give you the errormessage, if I would know, where to search. The output on the console, from which I started X, does not change, when I try to change the settings and in /var/log/XFree86.0.log nothing changes, too. There is no errormessage, when I klick on apply, after changing language from custom to german, too.
I did some research on my system (SuSE 7.3): I've installed the german language pack for kde-3.0 (dutch was already installed) and I've tried both languages as root and as normal user (my own account). In every case, after logging out and in again, the chosen language was used. 1. Language settings in KDE are user specific. They are kept in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals, section "[Locale]". At this moment, in that section, I have there (amongst a few other keys): - Country=de - Language=de File ownership & permissions: "ls -l kdeglobals" gives: -rw------- 1 leen users 6493 May 8 17:00 kdeglobals and "ls -l .." gives: drwx------ 4 leen users 2776 May 8 17:00 config So both the config directory as well as kdeglobals are readable and writable. Please check if that is the case in your home directory. Also have a look in kdeglobals, at the "Locale" section, and check for the "Language" and "Country" keys. They should have the value "de". 2. Check /etc/fstab. Is your /home directory on a different partition? If so, what partition? Well, I hope this info is of some use to you. :-) Leen
