Make sure they are uncommented in /etc/locale.gen and run a

sudo locale-gen

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locale#Generating_locales
Check also chapter 4.2 for KDE there.

Hi again,

Thanks for the response... I did it several times, but with no luck...

[root@jacques-20frs08t00 jacques]# locale-gen

I'm checking your link...

Everything seems to be ok also with locale

LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_CH.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=fr_CH.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_CH.UTF-8

Hi again,

Without a solution, i tried to create a new user, and guess what... KDE is fully in french... So... :saluting_face:

But one problem still remains... Impossible for me to have latte-dock in french...
When i right click on the panel above, configure latte, help, configure your language, i only have en_US.

Impossible to set it in french... If you have an idea... :pray: :pray: :pray:

Are you sure there is a translation for latte-dock? If not, then it won’t have french. :person_shrugging:

Apparently there is French localization: latte-dock/po/fr at master · KDE/latte-dock · GitHub

Hi!

I had the same issue with latte-dock and the german translation. I just fixed it by installing the git-version.

sudo pacman -R latte-dock && sudo pacman -S latte-dock-git

Then log out and log in. This fixed it for me.

Hi,

I'm using the server for Switzerland...

The Chaotic-Router works, but ... :slight_smile: nothing reaches me.

Switzerland has a chaotic-mirror???
