            Bug ID: 384451
           Summary: systemsettings should understand yet-to-be-generated
                    locales
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.8.7
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_formats
          Assignee: se...@kde.org
          Reporter: gaetan.gilb...@skyskimmer.net
  Target Milestone: ---

In system settings > regional settings > formats, it is possible to set any
locale even if it isn't present on the system. This can appear to work while
leading to random incomprehensible breakage (eg set LC_TIME to whatever,
reboot, see that the KDE clock respects it. However if the locale isn't
generated okular will fail to open files with non totally ASCII path like
é.pdf, mcomix will just crash on startup, etc)

The program should somehow remind the user to generate locales. Possibilities:
- display only generated locales (maybe with a toggle to display the rest as
well)
- display some warning when a non generated locale is chosen
- whatever you come up with
