Aha! I had forgotten about this setting in Kmail, but unfortunately it makes |
| 19 |
no difference. The setting in question seems to be desktop wide and affects |
| 20 |
all applications within Plasma. :-( |

Hmm ... I have the following: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
$ env | grep LANG |
| 61 |
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
$ grep GB /etc/portage/make.conf |
| 64 |
LINGUAS="en_GB en" |
| 65 |
L10N="en-GB" |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I wasn't aware there is a LANGUAGE variable. I couldn't find it here: |

|
| 71 |
Is this is a new setting? What applications use this? |
