Description Sven Schmetzer 2019-05-22 21:57:16 UTC

I installed the newly released Leap 15.1. During the installation I set German as my language but after the installation zypper does not use the right language. It's still englisch and asks for yes or y to confirm somthing instead of Ja or j. I checked the setting, Yast2 ist set to german and it's menue uses the right language.

zypper needs to run as root. Depending on how you do that the locale is different. If you open a login shell as root ROOT_USES_LANG=yes must be set in /etc/sysconfig/language, otherwise root stays in English. When calling zypper via sudo it uses the locale of the calling user.
