I noticed that openSUSE will always set the locale to de_DE, even if you set Europe - Austria as region during install. de_AT exists as a locale, so why isn't that picked instead? I haven't tested it myself but it's probably set to de_DE as well for German- speaking Switzerland. Is there a reason behind this or is it an oversight?
What you set as region is your timezone not the locale - the settings are not related. That's the reason.
The settings are somewhat related. If you pick language English (UK) you get your keyboard layout by default selected as English (UK) and your presumed location/timezone set to Europe/London We do the same with Traditional / Simplified Chinese also. Right now as we only offer "German - Deutsch" in the menu, every German speaker gets Tastaturbelegung set to Deutsch, and their presumed location/timezone as Europe/Berlin It does lead to the question - why doesn't our install offer the locales German (German) | (Austrian) | (Swiss) the same way we offer English (UK) and English (US)? Presumably we could have Germany (DE), German (AT), and German (CH) in the language drop-down on the Welcome Screen. For DE and AT I assume that would set the default keyboard layout to the standard "Deutsch" that it does now - I'm not aware of Austrian keyboards being different from German ones. But for CH we could set it to "Deutsch (Schweiz)" that currently needs to be manually selected, but presumably are more common in Switzerland (can someone confirm?) And in all 3 cases, the default timezone/location could be selected to be a more likely accurate than the current "Europe/Berlin fur alles!" approach I can see how Swiss and Austrian users might like it..it would annoy me if there was only one English option and I was always presumed to be American by YaST. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
