Bug ID: 464694
Summary: Mixed language in UI when using application-specific
override language on Windows
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kxmlgui
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org

Configure Language dialog in Kate showing mixed language UI
On Windows, changing the application language results in a mixed language UI
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Kate on Windows
2. Open Settings->Configure Language and select a different primary language
(should be different from the system language).
3. Close the dialog with OK and restart Kate.
4. Open Settings->Configure Language dialog
OBSERVED RESULT
The Configure Language dialog is partially using German translation (German is
the Windows system language) and partially using the configure language (e.g.
Spanish).
EXPECTED RESULT
The configured language is used for the whole UI.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Looks like the system language is used for translations coming from Qt while
the configured language is used for translations coming from KDE.
With procmon I checked which language files Kate loads (in which order):
* Kate looks for/loads .qm files from bin\data\locale\{en,de}, i.e. English and
German translations, for some KF5 libraries
* Kate looks for/loads qt*_en.qm and qt*_de.qm files from bin\translations for
the Qt libraries
* Kate looks for/loads .mo files from bin\data\locale\es, i.e. Spanish
translations
This confirms my assumption that all Qt translations (.qm) are German, the
system language, (with English as fallback) while all KDE/gettext translations
(.mo) are Spanish, i.e. the configured language.
Hypothesis: KXMLGui's initializeLanguages() runs after the initialization
function of ki18n and therefore ki18n loads the German translations.
