For an online session with English speaking participants I want to temporarily switch my KDE Plasma desktop on Tumbleweed from German to English. All texts should be shown in English. The keyboard layout should stay German. Units, time&date etc. should also stay German, but this is not important.
I tried to switch from German to English on two places: - Yast - see https://paste.opensuse.org/7974c2c3 - KDE system settings - see https://paste.opensuse.org/37e295e8 May be, it has nothing to do with the KDE Plasma desktop. Even on console things are weird.
I compared the locale setup on my TW system with the setup on my openSUSE 15.2 computer. On my TW system en_US.utf8 and en_GB.utf8 are somehow German, only the openSUSE Leap 15.2 system works as expected. openSUSE TW samples: myuser@tw:~> LC_ALL= LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 rm does-not-exist rm: das Entfernen von 'does-not-exist' ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden myuser@tw:~> LC_ALL= LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8 rm does-not-exist rm: das Entfernen von 'does-not-exist' ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden myuser@tw:~> LC_ALL= LC_MESSAGES=POSIX rm does-not-exist rm: cannot remove 'does-not-exist': No such file or directory openSUSE 15.2 samples: myuser@leap:~> LC_ALL= LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 rm does-not-exist rm: cannot remove 'does-not-exist': No such file or directory myuser@leap:~> LC_ALL= LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.utf8 rm does-not-exist rm: cannot remove 'does-not-exist': No such file or director myuser@leap:~> LC_ALL= LC_MESSAGES=POSIX rm does-not-exist rm: cannot remove 'does-not-exist': No such file or directory I already tried this tip on my TW computer: myuser@tw:~> sudo localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 What else could be wrong?
