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 Of course I logged in again after changing these settings. I also tried rebooting. Unfortunately desktop and console are still German. So probably something is configured wrong. Programs do not show English messages: myuser@mybox:~> rm does-not-exists rm: das Entfernen von 'does-not-exists' ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden "locale" shows German settings too: myuser@mybox:~> locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Later I also added these environment variables to $HOME/.profile export LANG=en_US.utf8 export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" export LC_ALL= Also these settings do not help much: myuser@mybox:~> rm does-not-exists rm: das Entfernen von 'does-not-exists' ist nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden myuser@mybox:~> locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="en_US.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= Here are some config files: /etc/locale.conf LANG=en_US.UTF-8 /etc/sysconfig/language # empty lines and comments deleted INPUT_METHOD="" RC_LANG="en_US.utf8" RC_LC_ALL="" RC_LC_MESSAGES="" RC_LC_CTYPE="" RC_LC_COLLATE="" RC_LC_TIME="" RC_LC_NUMERIC="" RC_LC_MONETARY="" RC_LC_PAPER="" ROOT_USES_LANG="ctype" AUTO_DETECT_UTF8="no" INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="de_DE,en_US" myuser@mybox:~> locale -a | grep ^en_US en_US en_US.iso885915 en_US.utf8 Any ideas? Please send my a working en_US setup (config files etc.). Greetings, Björn
