Aha! I had forgotten about this setting in Kmail, but unfortunately it makes no difference. The setting in question seems to be desktop wide and affects all applications within Plasma. :-( > In Firefox, as > far as I can remember the language was already right.

I have the following: $ env | grep LANG LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 $ grep GB /etc/portage/make.conf LINGUAS="en_GB en" L10N="en-GB" I wasn't aware there is a LANGUAGE variable. I couldn't find it here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide Is this is a new setting? What applications use this? -- Regards, Mick
