Hello, i installed opensuse-12.1 with german language and in a test users KDE/systemsettings/Locale the preferred language was set to German. In Yast/System/Language the primary language is german, too. So the test users KDE programs are in german, but at least Firefox and Gimp still have english user interface. In /etc/sysconfig/language i see: ----------------------------------- # Local users will get RC_LANG as their default language, i.e. the # environment variable $LANG . $LANG is the default of all $LC_*-variables, # as long as $LC_ALL is not set, which overrides all $LC_-variables. # Root uses this variable only if ROOT_USES_LANG is set to "yes". # RC_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" ------------------------------------ But the test users "locale" says: ----------------------------------- LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=de_DE.utf8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=de_DE.utf8 LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_ALL= ----------------------------------- I can workaround this by calling e.g. "LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 ; firefox" on the command line. Or i can fix it permanentely in ~test-user/.profile: -------------------------------------- # Most applications support several languages for their output. # To make use of this feature, simply uncomment one of the lines below or # add your own one (see /usr/share/locale/locale.alias for more codes) # This overwrites the system default set in /etc/sysconfig/language # in the variable RC_LANG. # export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 # uncomment this line for German output -------------------------------------- But why do i have to do that, why is RC_LANG in /etc/sysconfig/language not recognized? Is it a bug, or do i miss something? Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
