Hi there!
Since the upgrade to 4.6.3, most KDE applications show up in English. Even
stuff that has not been upgraded, like kmymoney. The only KDE4 application I
know that still is German is systemsettings. Does anyone else experience
this?

Maxim Vorontsov writes:
No, for me all works fine.
Probably another problem that only I have.
BTW, German language is of course set in systemsettings, and it's also set
via Help - Switch Application Language.
It's no big deal, but I'm missing the German language in KMyMoney.
