After paddling through bugs.kde.org this seems to be an issue dating back years, perhaps even more than a decade. I've added a comment to one bug, referencing a few others I found in the process: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327757#c13
Frankly, the whole thing seems such a mess I'm inclined to just concede and, as I state in my comment, use the following alternative approaches:
:-( So it is a KDE issue. Thus I could not see it.
* If I want the whole DE and apps in French, I'll pick that in System Settings and put it top of the list, log out and back in. * If I want an individual KDE app in French, depending upon the app, there is often an option under the Help menu to Switch Application Language, which requires only to restart the app. * Another option is to have a separate user account set to French, though of course that's no good for when I want to use my existing user data in apps.
The debate is too long and the arguments too numerous in the bugs I found for me to want to spend more time there, unless someone requests more info.
