8 I have a slightly different problem with recent Plasma versions, but I wonder
9 if they're related:
10
11 Changing the spell checking language doesn't do anything, it sticks to
12 whatever was selected to begin with, even though it *looks* like I changed the
13 selection. For example, if German is the initial selection, after changing to
14 any English variant English-only words are still highlighted as incorrect.
15
16 I did just test changing the keyboard, though, and that still works (via the
17 default Ctrl-Alt-k keybinding).

22 I don't understand why you would think that to be the case, systemd also just
23 uses (and controls, if you use localectl) the usual variables in /etc/
24 locale.conf.

29 For completeness, I've got:
30
31 % env | grep LANG
32 LANG=de_DE.utf8
33 LANGUAGE=de:en_GB
