In KMail, you need to set the language in your Identity, under Advanced. KMail ignores the system-wide setting, and so does KWrite. In Firefox, as far as I can remember the language was already right. I don't use Kate; in fact, it seems not to be present. Libre Office seems to associate its language with each document. > > > Is this another systemd-R-us imposition, or is there a way I can set > > > it up so that Plasma & friends respect the default environment > > > settings? > > > > > > $ env | grep LANG > > > LANG=en_GB.UTF8 > > > > I have en_GB set up and apparently working.

Yes. Here are my language settings: $ env | grep LANG LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB $ grep GB /etc/portage/make.conf LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_GB.UTF-8" L10N="en-GB en" LINGUAS="en_GB en" You haven't been caught by that L10N trap, have you? The hyphen where you would expect an underscore? -- Regards, Peter.
