It is using the "es" /locale/, however it interprets that.
Yeah, well there are lots of es* locales, including es itself, which includes a lot more than en by itself does.
Good :-)
I don't think it's good at all. I think it's so complicated that we can't even figure out what it is we're trying to bug report.
It's clear that different programs behave differently in identical circumstances, which as a user I find unacceptable, but I don't know enough (anything?) about the politics to know what is reasonable. Fortunately English is my native language, so I don't generally suffer too much from the consequences. And I don't try to operate multilingual machines.
How "LANGUAGE=..." works is very clear, there is no bug there. It works. No bug there. As far as I can see I can set it up to get the exact results I may want.
The bug or missing feature is in how KDE allows or does not allow users to set that variable up.
No the bug is the inconsistency between how different applications deal with the settings. There may be KDE bugs as well, of course.
But there is no inconsistency. Andrei explained it well.
He did, indeed
You may wish to open one bug against each application that doesn't do this or that locale, thus thousands of bug reports, but this basically depend on what volunteers each project gets, and what translations each of those volunteers want to do. Bug reporting will not get more volunteer translators.
No. The problem is in KDE. I have extended the description https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422636 accordingly Thanks again Axel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
