Show the output of % locale and % sudo locale
Not in a position to copy the output from the other machine to this old one I'm typing on yet. It's a mixture of EN_GB and FR. See end of this message.
We need seeing it, both root and your user. Do not use ssh to get it, because the ssh can have a different one. Besides than "sudo locale", I would like:
locale su - locale
As follows, it's identical for both user and root:
% locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
According to that, programs should output in English, not French. There is another setting in KDE: KDE_LANG
You possibly have several problems.
One, KDE handling of language, which controls the interface language. Is it English?
Yes, interface elements are all in English.
Ah.
Two, messages in French inside Konsole. This is controlled by "locale", so you have to run that command inside Konsole and paste for us to see.
And it has LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 so they should display in English only.
Third, if in a program, say YaST, you see parts in French, parts in English, it is because the translations are incomplete or deprecated, which makes the program revert to English USA, not UK (actually, English UK is handled as another translation, ie, another language). This is handled on single message basis, not the entire program. In the same screen it is possible to have this mixture - and the solution for this is to report as translation bug.
I may be wrong but I think there's some other bug there. Without having checked every last category, all that I'm looking at now seem to be in English, but the main YaST Control Centre dialog is in French. I wonder if it's pulling some cached version from when I had switched that yast2-lang-fr package and for some reason is not reverting.
Yes, this is some other problem I'm not aware of. It is not normal. Can you try using Gnome or XFCE? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
