No, he said removing French from the Plasma settings fixed it.
Correct. The YaST French translation update appearing yesterday was merely a coincidence, but I was confirming that prior to applying that update, the issue was resolved by something else. To clarify the problem, in Plasma System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Language, if you click the question mark and the help text for the heading 'Preferred Languages', the help tooltip states this: Translations ------------ "Here you can set your preferred language for translating the user interface of your applications. You can choose a single language, or a list of languages to be applied in sequence. Only language translations that are installed on your system will be listed as available. If your language is not listed then you will need to install it first." --- Then, if you hover over a language selected in this list, you get the following help tooltip: "This is the list of installed KDE Plasma language translations currently being used, listed in order of preference. If a translation is not available for the first language in the list, the next language will be used. If no other translations are available then US English will be used." --- So this logic is not being applied. Or at least, it seems to be applied in most KDE/Qt5 apps but not everything else. I have British English top of the list, US English underneath and français third. Consequently, Firefox/Thunderbird are a bit mixed up between English and French language elements, and though I use the Qt interface for YaST, its main menu is in French and the actual modules in English. If some French YaST translations were incomplete previously, it should have fallen back to British or US English, but rather the opposite was occurring. (Since it could be wondered why in such case I would elect to have French at all, my reasons are a) for sometimes understanding French interface elements for producing documentation and help, and b) for situations where for example my French employer uses particular software and I need to get up to speed on the menus and options as shown in French.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
