I have a need to run KDE in different languages under that same user id at different times. I would have expected to find a "Language" selection on the login screen. There isn't one there...and I couldn't find a way to add it or easily start a new session with a different language.
How are other folks dealing with this?
Do you need complete language switch or just keyboard?
In first case it would be cleaner solution to use users named by language it will be used so that you don't have mix of documents in different languages in one user directory. I'm not sure how it will affect application settings in .kde4 directory.
Second case is built in. You can have keyboard switcher in system tray (panel). It can be found in: Configure Desktop >> Regional & Language >> Keyboard Layout
See also: Just above is Country/Region & Language that offers few languages, and settings) to be added, but I never used that, so I don't know how it works, ie. is there switcher in system tray like there is for keyboard layout, or you have to use Configure Desktop >> Regional & Language every time you want to switch language.
Don't forget to consult the Help button that gives sparse, but useful information on this selection.
The easiest way probably is to simply run env LANG=whichever_lang_I_prefer LC_ALL=whichever_lang_I_prefer command where "whichever_lang_I_prefer" can be something like "de_DE.UTF-8" and "command" is the command to be executed. This can be started from a terminal (of course ;-), or using Alt-F2.
