Description Sebastian Probst 2011-03-29 05:39:55 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.5.2

OpenSUSE 11.4 install from DVD with default options. (KDE Desktop, selected language and keyboard is German)
 
When installing from the 32bit media KDE is always English afterwards but when installing from the 64bit media I will have a german KDE as expected. Changing country & language & preferred language within the 32bit does not help - KDE4 still in English. (German language files seem to be installed)

Tested on physical machine (32bit only) and VMWare (32bit and 64bit)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert OpenSUSE 32bit DVD and boot
2. select F2 and "Deutsch" as language
3. confirm default settings in the next screens
4. login as root
5. welcome (and the rest) is in English

1. insert OpenSUSE 64bit DVD and boot
2. select F2 and "Deutsch" as language
3. confirm default settings in the next screens
4. login as root
5. welcome (and the rest) is in German
Actual Results:  
KDE runs in English

Expected Results:  
KDE should be German

no changes made, just the default selections

Comment 1 Jan Ritzerfeld 2011-03-29 18:38:51 UTC

Same here. However, it is not limited to root. Even as a user, there is a mix of German and English in KDE. The netbook workspace is almost completely untranslated. The same holds true for the KDE Personal Settings. In YaST, I tried switching to English and then back to German in order to install missing packages.
/etc/sysconfig/language: INSTALLED_LANGUAGES="de_DE"
# rpm -qa *kde*-de *kde*-de-*

Comment 4 Jan Ritzerfeld 2011-06-11 09:59:30 UTC

Running "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" as each affected user fixed it for me.

Comment 5 Jan Ritzerfeld 2012-05-17 12:01:16 UTC

That language mix issue still exists using openSUSE 12.1 KDE LiveCD 32 bit.
Furthermore, my workaround described in Comment 1 and Comment 2 does not work anymore. Even creating a new user does not help.

However, openSUSE 12.1 KDE DVD 64 bit (still) works.

Comment 6 Jan Ritzerfeld 2013-01-03 22:20:09 UTC

Works for me now: using 12.2 KDE LiveCD 32 bit.

@Sebastian: Does 12.2 work for you too?

Comment 7 Jan Ritzerfeld 2013-03-17 17:45:36 UTC

I am resolving this because it worked for me using 12.2. However, there is Bug 807013 that looks similar.
