My recent bout of proselytising is bringing converts - and questions that I can't answer. I'll feed these out one at a time.
If the locale of Trinity is wrong, i.e. was not installed correctly in the first place - US instead of UK in the case in question - how can one put it right? Keyboard is easy, but there is a lot more wrong than Keyboard. Dates are unreadable, money wrong, paper default sizes wrong etc. At least numbers are, I think, right!! There are two desktops on the laptop in question, and I *think* that the other one is right and is set to UK.
Just for the record, and in case of doubt, living with it is not a realistic option!!
Thanks, Lisi

you surely have looked into Trinity Control Center ==> Country/Region & Languages and into the 5 Tabs named: Locale, Numbers, Time & Dates and Other?
You might have to set all those Tabs individually to correct behavior.

Thanks, Gerhard. The answer on my own system is that I can't change the language - it is determinedly set to US English - but it doesn't matter. The same would obviously apply to his. He was looking to change the language and everything else would follow! And you can't change the language.

You might have to install an additional language, in my case it was: tde-i18n-de-trinity

The file does not exist in 3.5.13.2, so I am to some extent exonerated for not knowing about it! My desktop is still on 3.5.13.2 and I only have 14 on the Jessie box attached to my television, on which I mainly - surprise, surprise - watch TV, principally catch-up TV. So I don't explore it much.
Still, I installed <tde-i18n-engb-trinity>, and lo and behold! US English disappeared everywhere and UK English took its place. My complainant will be a happy bunny. Thank you again. Lisi

Thanks Gerhard, That works for me :-)

You might have to set all those Tabs individually to correct behavior.
Thanks, Gerhard. The answer on my own system is that I can't change the language - it is determinedly set to US English - but it doesn't matter. The same would obviously apply to his. He was looking to change the language and everything else would follow! And you can't change the language.

My recent bout of proselytising is bringing converts - and questions that I can't answer. I'll feed these out one at a time.
If the locale of Trinity is wrong, i.e. was not installed correctly in the first place - US instead of UK in the case in question - how can one put it right? Keyboard is easy, but there is a lot more wrong than Keyboard. Dates are unreadable, money wrong, paper default sizes wrong etc. At least numbers are, I think, right!! There are two desktops on the laptop in question, and I *think* that the other one is right and is set to UK.
Just for the record, and in case of doubt, living with it is not a realistic option!!
Thanks, Lisi
That anoys me as well :-) As you say the keyboard is easy but there doesn't seem to be any easy way to change the language to en-GB, though dates, money and paper sizes are OK on mine.
Another thing that I've found is that I can't add programs to the main menu and they don't seem to get added automatically now.
My biggest annoyance it that the spell chucker doesn't work in Kmail and Kwrite and that I've no Idea how to change that !

I didn't know that there was a spell-checker in KWrite! In KMail 1.9.10 on 3.5.13.2: In composer: Options: automatic spell-checking Settings: click on spell-checker
And check the setting in Control Center -> KDE components -> spell checker
If you have already done all that, and spell checking still doesn't work, I'm stuck. Sorry. :-(

My automatic spell-checking was non-existent for years, but appeared suddenly, a short while ago, after an update. I don't know exactly when, since I don't think that I noticed it immediately.
Fingers crossed for you!

Its under tools near the lower middle of the dropdown menu.
In KMail 1.9.10 on 3.5.13.2: In composer: Options: automatic spell-checking Settings: click on spell-checker
I don't have "Options" in composer on either of my two machines one running 3.5.13 and one running 14.0.01

There has been some "odd" for want of a better word, behaviours when updating recently.
Thanks for the crossed fingers :-)

Do you have a spell checker and dictionary installed, e.g. aspell and aspell-en?
Hello Dave, Thank you for your reply.

I can only find "aspell" in usr/lib/ 4096 Read Only and "aspell" in usr/share/ 4096 Read Only
There is no sign of anywhere of "aspell-en" ???

Can't you check if package aspell and aspell-en are installed, e.g.
$ dpkg -l | grep aspell
would work for Debian derived systems? Don't know your distribution though. If it is not installed, install it.

Looks like it's now correctly installed. Does spell checking now work? If not, someone who knows how to switch it on in TDE has to jump in.
I remember that there have bin hints how to do this in previous mails of this thread.
Ah, I just found in Trinity Control Center under "TDE Components" the menu entry "Spell Checker". You might have to adjust something there.

I'll go and have a root around in the control centre. In Kmail reply screen, the word "Dictionary" has apeared under the "View" menu and "Spellchecker" under "Settings" So I'll have a play with those as well.
Thanks:
Woohoo It all works :-)
Kwrite, Kmail, even in Iceweasel.
All I have to do now is remember what to do when I get the other machine working.
Thanks Guy's. Your patience and help is much appreciated.
