Hi Erich, thanks for supervising the bug reporting here. I think everyone (except a few..) appreciate people like you who take the time out of their day to put effort towards maintain a project like this. :)
Regarding the bug: It has been outlined pretty clearly what needs to be done in order for this bug to appear. Install a fresh copy of (in this case) Kubuntu, and change the Region (under System Settings -> Regional Settings -> Formats -> Region) from English to something else, and your locale breaks immediately. In my case, the variables "LC_ALL", "LC_CTYPE" and "LC_MESSAGE" were unset in the /etc/default/locale file, resulting in a lot of program errors (Anki reported a broken UTF-8 and would crash before being able to start in my case). I could report this bug upstream if you don't want to do that or if that's not your "job"/task, but I'm not sure how to do that. What would be the next upstream package to report to even? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to kde-runtime in Ubuntu.

Initially, country is set to "United States". The locale settings are the following: ~/.kde/env$ cat setlocale.sh export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en:el:en export LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 Then, I change Country to Greece, via System Settings. Locale changes as follows: export LANG=en_GR.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en:el:en export LC_NUMERIC=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TIME=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MONETARY=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_PAPER=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_NAME=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_ADDRESS=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TELEPHONE=en_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GR.UTF-8 As far as I know, en_GR.UTF-8 is not a valid entry. A severe loss of functionality is that accents cannot be set properly to greek vowels. Changing manually setlocale.sh to: export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 export LANGUAGE=en:el:en export LC_NUMERIC=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TIME=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MONETARY=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_PAPER=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_IDENTIFICATION=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_NAME=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_ADDRESS=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_TELEPHONE=el_GR.UTF-8 export LC_MEASUREMENT=el_GR.UTF-8 solves the issue.
