Review request for Plasma, John Layt and Sebastian Kügler.


Repository: plasma-desktop


Description
-------

Currently the Formats KCM writes its configuration file using the selected locale's bcp47Name(). This, at least on my distro, breaks locale loading as locales are in the form "foo_FOO" (e.g., "it_IT" for my own locale) and instead the Formats KCM exports LANG as "foo" (e.g. "it").

This causes a bunch of runtime warnings and locales don't get actually loaded. This patch's approach is naive and likely needs more pairs of eyes on it, as I can't test with other distros.

Also we might need "UTF-8" suffix for distros that use UTF-8 locales: or so I think, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell if this is needed or not.
