KDE Language Big Faux Pas

Wed Apr 15, 2020 12:11 pm
Hi Everyone,

This is something that I stumbled upon and requires your immediate attention. I will not be pursuing it further, but believe posting it here will be seen and the issue resolved.

I'm from Poland. I tried KDE in many distros (Debian, Manjaro to name a few) and I installed them by default in English (us).
Then I pressed ALT+SPACE, typed "keyboard" and have chosen "keyboard hardware and layout" to add support to Polish languate "+layout".
I chose "Polish". So far so good, right. Wrong!!! because the DEFAULT layout for Polish language is.... not Polish.... but G E R M A N.
In order to add Polish you have to additionally chose from TWO drop-down menu "default" and "Polish", because otherwise by default KDE assumes Poland is still under German occupation. I thought the German occupation of Poland ended in 1945 (or so I thought, but apparently, German KDE devs think otherwise). WTF!!!!

I presume you are using Neon, right? Which exact one, which Plasma version?
Do you have German as a language installed?
Do I understand correctly you have problems with the keyboard layout only or is there more?


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Can't reproduce it (see versions in sig). If i choose the language, layout and label are set properly. Only variant must be set manually (I suppose for all languages).

I don't think KDE (devs) assumes anything about occupation and you should not tease the forum with you sarcastic notices. Remember, KDE is free software maked by people, who can make mistakes 8) I you found a bug, just report it.


Neon: 5.25, Plasma: 5.26.0, Frameworks: 5.98.0, Qt: 5.15.6, Kernel: 5.15.0-50-generic (64bit), CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, GPU: AMD RENOIR, GUI-Platform: X11
