OK. I didn't remember that one. It's not related, it's about entering

Kind regards,

If you mean to change the language settings for the whole TDE desktop ... so
that all headers - that is, in the programs themselves, are in German (for
example) - then I think you need to set the locale in the TCC / System
Administration / login manager / Adminstrator Mode. It has been awhile since
I played with these settings, but I did try some different language settings
there. That locale setting changes the GUI for the whole desktop (not just,
as I was thinking, in Kmail, or in your web browser, or message boxes in chat
programs, etc.).
Sorry if I was misunderstanding your question. But this won't *instantly*
change the whole GUI for the desktop; for that, you would need to reboot
after making the change.

I believe that, actually, yes, this is where you need to add the language
setting. That's how I could add other language GUIs. Then go to the next
tab, Switching Options, and you can enable option "Show Country Flag", and
you have further choices, e.g., Global, or per Application or per Window.
Then you get the country flag in your taskbar, and after that, all you need
to do is right-click and change. I just enabled (as an experiment), Greek,
Russian, etc. (so that I would have an entirely different alphabet), and it
works like that.

didn't pursue it far enough.
Go to / locale (following the sequence above in TCC). Add whatever
languages you want to have available, then you should be able to switch
languages by right-clicking on the country flag in your taskbar at
bottom.
Yes, that's what I did. And I was looking for exactly something like this
country-flag in taskbar, but I don't have that on my system. Mmh. How do
you get that? Can you enable that in TCC? I only know the one for
keyboard layouts.
However, I did just try this, and no countries or
languages were
available except US English ... but I think this is perhaps I have
disabled other choices in localepurge. I used to enable Greek, for
example, because I was setting some text for a translation; but this
was back in the old KDE3.
P.P.S. WHOOPS!
Also look under TCC / Regional & Accessibility / Country / keyboard
layout,

I dunno. Which thread?
P.S. regarding login with umlaut:
The heading and date of that thread:
Re: [trinity-users] Login into accounts with german umlaut

From: Stefan Krusche <linux(a)stefan-krusche.de>
I don't know if it goes back earlier, but I see your name again. Just
trying either to narrow down the problem, or to connect the dots (if
they do connect) to that earlier thread.
