When I want to switch to a new locale, I need to make multiple changes:
1. Select the locale in KDE (Configure Desktop -> Locale). This results on all KDE using that locale.
But that is not enough to make everything use the new locale.
Obviously. KDE only mandates in KDE.
2. Add LANG=whatever to my .bashrc file.
No, edit ~/.i18n.
Still, a second step is needed.
Blame KDE. Gnome does follow the user LANG. KDE has its own, independent system :-p
OK. I can only assume it is either a bug, or it is implemented by someone who does not really use a localized environment or have a clear understanding of the requirements for one. If the desktop starts, say, konsole, with all it's menus in the selected language, why does it not also set the LANG environment variable to match? As it stands, konsole has a split personality. It has all it's menus in the selected language, but does not tell the shell it is running to do the same. This is true is all non-KDE applications. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
