I have just built the current master version (which calls itself 3.7.1 Stable) 
with KDE Frameworks 5.115.0 and Qt 5.15.12 (on openSUSE Tumbleweed). I could 
switch the language (via Help -> Configure Language) to different languages.

I have built kstars without the optional dependencies INDI, Nova, ERFA, 
LibRaw, LibXISF, Qt5Keychain. Maybe one of those dependencies messes with the 
LANGUAGE environment variable that KDE Frameworks use for overriding the 
system language. Or Qt 5.15.13 is messed up.

Regards,
Ingo
