Bug 235221: x11/kde5 Issues with locale
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235221



--- Description ---
I was not sure to start PR as I thought the problem is unique for my setup, but
recently I found similar problem on FreeBSD forum.

The problem is then KDE translation changed, any KDE update breaks text
rendering on various KDE components.

For example, here is simple test.
1.Go to KDE settings -> Locale parameters and set it to russian (ru_RU).
2. Logout-Login. Start terminal and check locale output.
Strange thing it won't be UTF-8 russian.
3. Repeat step 1 and step 2.
It will be UTF-8 russian.
4. Log out.
5. Delete ~/.cache and log in.
6. Now font rendering is broken. For example, KDE settings misses all
descriptions.
6.1. If you have avatar, it disappears from locking screen (but not from sddm
screen).
7. Workaround: log off, delete ~/.cache , delete
~/.config/plasma-locale-settings.sh and ~/.config/plasma-localerc, set desired
locale.
7.1. Not sure how to bring avatar back though.

I have this issue after every (even minor) KDE update on all computers I run
FreeBSD/KDE. Hope, this one is not unique.
