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.

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.
Yes, I also think German and Austrian keyboards are the same; it's other things like names of months and number/currency formats that make the difference. Here's what the KDE System Settings dialog shows as examples:
*de_DE* Zahlen: 1.000,01
Zeit: Sonntag, 13. Januar 2019 19:29:00 CET (Langformat) 13.01.19 19:29 (Kurzformat)
Währung: 24,00 €

*de_AT* Zahlen: 1 000,01
Zeit: Sonntag, 13. Jänner 2019 19:29:00 CET (Langformat) 13.01.19 19:29 (Kurzformat)
Währung: € 24,00

*de_CH* Zahlen: 1'000.01
Zeit: Sonntag, 13. Januar 2019 19:29:00 CET (Langformat) 13.01.19 19:29 (Kurzformat)
Währung: CHF 24,00
Maßsystem: Metrisch
The digit grouping is different in each of them.
And also note that Währung should be Währung: CHF 24.00 for de_CH as point is the decimal separator ... The funky things come when you compare fr_CH with de_CH in fr_CH you will have Numbers : 1 000,01 Currency: 24,00 CHF Obviously all people in CH have the numbers/currency normally set the same ;-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe supporter GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
