On Sonntag, 2. Juni 2024 13:36:58 CEST I wrote in reply to your previous message with subject "Re: Cannot change language": 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. === Did you try building kstars without optional dependencies to verify my observation that with such a build changing the language works? Two KDE Frameworks are involved in changing the language. KXMLGui provides the language switching dialog. Moreover it loads the configured language and sets the environment variable LANGUAGE. KI18n loads the translations for the language(s) in the LANGUAGE variable. On Linux the configured languages are stored in/read from the file ~/.config/klanguageoverridesrc Regards, Ingo
