Bug 229582: x11/sddm and plasma components are broken by LC_NUMERIC change
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229582



--- Description ---
I observe very strange issue - sddm and components like System Settings are
broken when lang set to ru_RU.UTF-8
I've seen the similar report with German locale on FreeBSD forum.

How to replicate:
change LANG with System settings for plasma to ru_RU.UTF-8 or sddm_lang="ru_RU"
in /etc/rc.conf

1. sddm missing several entries (time, avatar, no asterisks when password
typing)
2. if LANG changed for plasma, entire System Settings applet has no text at all

The issue can be worked around with LC_NUMERIC set to en_US.UTF-8, so probably
LC_NUMERIC is the cause.
