           Summary: Bugs when settings language environment in
                    SystemSettings > Country/Region and Language
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: homoludens1000 at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

DESCRIPTION & HOW TO REPRODUCE:

Background: I installed openSUSE 11.1 with English (US) as primary and Japanese
as additional language. The SystemSettings > Region/Country & Language was set
to 'Country or Region: Not set (Generic English)' and no language appeared in
the language list.

1. I used Yast2 > System > Language to add additional languages: German,
French, and English (UK). Went into SystemSettings > Region/Country & Language
to set 'Country or Region' to 'Japan' (to get Japanese formats etc) and added
languages below in the order: English (UK) > Japanese > German > French.

BUG: The language associated with the locale was not added automatically  on
top of the language list. 
BUG: The primary system language (here: English (US)) was not available as an
option to be added to the list.

2. My language environment switched to Japanese despite having chose English
(UK) for the top of language list. I switched 'Country/Region' back to 'Not set
(Generic English), and deleted all languages except English (UK) from the
language list (this last one I wasn't able to remove). Upon reboot, my language
settings were still Japanese.

I changed the language list by adding only German, and only French. Both times,
the language environment switched to the respective language. When setting the
language list to only English (UK), however, the previously set language
remained in use.

BUG: Setting language to English (UK) does not work. (= Previously set
not-primary languages remain active.)

3. I went again into Yast2 > System > Language and unchecked all languages
except Japanese (with English (US) remaining the primary language).
SystemSettings > Region/Country & Language, however, didn't reflect this change
and still offered English (UK), Japanese, German as well as French as
additional languages, yet no English (US).

BUG: Lack of synchronization / harmonization between SystemSettings >
Region/Country & Language settings and OS language settings (here: Yast2 >
System > Language).
