Hi,
I installed a new bullseye system. I added some accounts and changed the locale (regional settings) to German. Worked well for
- System settings
- Application starter menu
- Non-KDE Applications (e.g. firefox and libreoffice)
Did not work for
- control panel
- all KDE Applications, e.g.
-- kate
-- kmail
-- konsole
-- ...
Is this a bug or did I miss something?
Any advice or hint is welcome.
Please show output of commands:

Have you tried to install special meta-packages task-german-desktop and task-german-kde-desktop?
No, but task-german-kde-desktop did not add anything anymore
root@aura:/etc# apt-get install task-german-kde-desktop

I think adding the locale de_DE.UTF-8 has fixed the issue. Is it expected that KDE applications are more sensitive to this than other applications?
Does anybody know the definition of the LANGUAGE variable? Or what does
LANGUAGE=de:en_US
mean?
Thanks again
Rainer
