Hallo.
I have a Problem with the Character encoding in KDE3.5. I am from
germany
and we have some nice Letters like ä,ö,ü ... When i go to tty1 with "ctrl+alt+1" and "mkdir testäordner" jump
back
into KDE an look in my home Directory, the new Directory is written
like this:
"testäordner". I hope someone can help me.
Jochen Vortkamp
P.S In the console under tty1 the Directory in written right
"testäordner"
I'm also from Germany and once I had the same problem. I think this
has
something to do with your locale settings. Run locale in your tty1 and do the same in a console in KDE. Then compare the
results
and you should see a difference I think. For example, "LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" in
tty1
and "LANG=de_DE.ISO-****" in KDE.

you are right. In tty1 it is "LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" and in the KDE console
i
got this:
jochen@jochen-laptop:~$ locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL=
how to fix it in KDE?
Jochen Vortkamp
That's interesting. I would have expected the other way around.
Either your LANG variable is not set globally and KDE does not know it or KDE resets the variable.
To prevent the first situation I always set the LANG variable in /etc/environment like this: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
If the problem still remains I'm not sure what to do. I know that you
can
set KDE's default language via kcontrol under "Regionaleinstellungen & ..."->"Land, Region & Sprache". But I'm unsure
if
this option also affects "LANG".
Good luck!

Strange. In "Regionaleinstellungen & ..."->"Land, Region & Sprache i switched all to "german" The "Select System Language" has no effect. Normaly it starts the "language-selecter-qt" But the pakage in the repo is for KDE4. Can Tim make the "language-selecter-qt" for kde3 available? Does somebody know, why KDE don't take the /etc/environment language?
Jochen Vortkamp
I don't exactly know WHAT i made, but some of this things worked in a strange way... I think the right thing was, to set LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 in the ~/.bashrc
good night Jochen Vortkamp
