Public bug reported:
After updating KDE 4 language pack there are still some
untranslated/english texts although the language pack contains the
translated strings.
That is because some of the translations are contained in .desktop-files. For
performance reasons these files are cached in a binary cache but the cache
doesn't get updated on language-pack updates.
I know this definitely for the german language pack but I guess all language
packs are affected.
Normally kded calls kbuildsycoca to update the cache incremental but the
language pack files seem to not be detected as updated (why? has some version
info to be changed? or unchanged file descriptors?) and therefore the cache
doesn't include the newest translations.
The solution is to call "kbuildsycoca --noincrement" after a translation update
but I guess this is nothing more than a workaround for another problem (why are
the .desktop-files not detected as updated). I guess this has to be done with
user permissions and for every user seperately.
