KDE 5.3 mixed language

Created attachment 634516 [details] screenshot 1 I want to keep all text as English and only choose Region (FI) settings for numeric, currency and time formats. If I choose that it will translate calendar (date etc. to Finnish) This is with latest updates and KDE 5.3 See screenshots.

This is due to fact Plasma/KF5 now uses QLocale, which in turn uses POSIX standards (e.g. LC_TIME, etc). One way to workaround this, is to create a custome locale, which would used desider values in Finnish, and the rest in English.
So what I need to do? Should I open a bug for upstream? Or is it handled already? This was one reason why I ditch Gnome as it was working this way too. Where I would find instructions how to do the workaround?
Im guessing its this one https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176650
(In reply to Olli Tuominen from comment #4) > Im guessing its this one https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176650 Not really. That bug report is from 2008 and against KDE4, KF5's locale support has been completely changed (as mentioned, it uses QLocale now instead of doing its own thing, which in turn uses POSIX standards). The bug you mention is actually the otherway round, it originally was about KDE *not* respecting the POSIX variables like LC_TIME (which of course is not true in KF5 any more). Your problem is rather https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353715 I'd say, which should be fixed in KDE Frameworks 5.17.0 which will be released in about two weeks and should reach Tumbleweed some time afterwards. In any case, it is still an upstream problem, why did you reopen it?
