Question kde 4.2 l10n woes

Hi,

I've been using opensuse 11.1 with KDE 4.2 for quite some time, and recently moved to the "stable" 4.2 repository. Things have generally been smooth.

Today, when I logged in, I saw something strange: The applications I had open when I logged out, did not start automatically. I found that a little strange. Then I realized my desktop was partially borked in other ways; the most troublesome was, my multiple-keyboard-layout setting was gone. I couldn't switch to my second language, Hebrew.

So I opened the desktop settings; the list of languages was empty. I added Hebrew, and then I could switch languages. Thought I had things fixed. But not quite -- this set Hebrew as my main interface language. I want US-English, but it is nowhere to be found nor added.

I found that I can lower the priority of Hebrew -- the region/language dialog behaves as if I have two languages, Hebrew and (empty). This had no effect -- the interface is still Hebrew. I searched for a kde4-l10n-en_US package, but none is to be found.

In trying to research the problem, I found that I have both a .kde and a .kde4 folder, files like share/config/kdeglobals are recently updated in both, with different contents. I am a little at a loss.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shai.
