On my dell latitude e5500 I try to use the Dutch translation of plasma 5.
I had huge problems when I tried to install Kubuntu 16.04 with the Dutch langpack. I made a bug of it and finally they are doing something about it. This seemed a perfect opportunity to switch to Neon.
I am very impressed by Neon.
At this time the package kde-l10n-nl can be used again. But there are a few very strange things left with it.

As you can see Dolphin mixes locales. The strange thing is that it behaves correctly on my other machine.
I cleared all caches, I did a clean install, nothing helps.
Does anybody knows a remedy?

xdg-user-dirs-update should fix this

alternatively you can create ~/.config/user-dirs.locale and write nl_NL inside, then run the update program. that should definitely adjust the names.

Thank you very much for your answer.
The file ~/.config/user-dirs.locale already existed. And in it was "en-EN" or so. I changed that to nl-NL and after that did xdg-user-dirs-update.
Then I rebooted. To my great surprise it had no effect!

It turns out there also is a file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs . The content of that file was English language. I deleted this file and again did xdg-user-dirs-update (that is: with the nl_NL in the user-dirs.locale).
xdg-user-dirs-update created a new ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and it had all Dutch content!

But now Dolphin shows the following exotic picture:

If I remember correctly, the change of the folder locale in a running system causes the creation of new folders and doesn't move that. If that's correct, the other folders are just legacy. In doubt you can check this at the shell:

Code: Select all

ls ~/Bureaublad

Should show the entries of your current desktop,

Code: Select all

ls ~/Desktop

should show the old desktop (or nothing at all). You can do this with the other folders as well.

if you add files on desktop, it should appear in the new folder and not the old one.

If so, you can safely remove the old folders.
