You could try the following (as a test): - Start a konsole - Type: export LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-1"
- Start a second konsole from that environment
- In that second one, start your app and see what you get
How come that LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 works at all? If I do a "locale -a" I only see (for Germany)
de_DE de_DE@euro de_DE.utf8
Can I find a description somewhere about the (changed) character set handling in kde/konsole?
And also, if I do export LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-1" somewhere in my .profile I never will see error messages in the local language, they always appear in English.
And if I open a second shell in the same konsole for another user who did not set LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-1" in his profile I get the utf-8 message, e.g. like:
locale: Das Verzeichnis »/usr/share/i18n/charmaps« der Zeichensatz-Definitionen kann nicht gelesen werden: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
It seems that character set handling in konsole is not implemented correctly.
