I have performed a clean installation of openSUSE Tumbleweed, but I am experiencing constant system errors and crashes immediately after installation.
I have specifically chosen Croatian as my system language during the installation process. I need the system to be exclusively in Croatian, and I do not want to use any other language. It seems that the language packages or patterns provided for Croatian are causing system instability or conflicts.
Could you please advise why this is happening and if there is a way to have a stable Tumbleweed installation strictly in Croatian without these errors? I am not willing to switch to another language.
Any help in resolving this while maintaining full Croatian localization would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Do you have any indication that it’s due to the language pack? Did you check the journal? What conflicts do you see?
To get a better overview over your system, some basic informations might help.LANG=C inxi -F
As @hui indicates, what is your exact problem?
everything is translated ,when open something let say system settings ,when close system crash,on english not happening
You should post it, also see, if journalctl shows something.
reinstall on eng/usa only croatian keyboard ,now everything workX.Org v: 21.1.21 with: Xwayland v: 24.1.12 driver: X:
??? Are you absolutely certain that, your system can run reliably without any Swap Space?
Can you please, post the output of the CLI commands “locale ” and “localectl ”?
You’re using KDE Plasma 6 with X11 – Wayland could possibly be better …

Can you check if Croation locale is available on your system running en_US?
> localectl list-locales | grep hr_HR
hr_HR.UTF-8
If so you can try localectl set-locale hr_HR.UTF-8, if that does not work, set it back to en_US.UTF-8.
same thing on fedora so i think its kde plasma problem with translation

Can you check if qt6-translations is installed.
> sudo zypper search qt6-translations
S | Name | Summary | Type
---+------------------+-------------------+--------
i | qt6-translations | Qt 6 Translations | package
So it is installed on my system and seems to provide Croatian support.
> rpm -ql qt6-translations | grep hr
/usr/share/qt6/translations/assistant_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/designer_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/linguist_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/qt_help_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/qt_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/qtbase_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/qtconnectivity_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/qtdeclarative_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/qtlocation_hr.qm
/usr/share/qt6/translations/qtmultimedia_hr.qm
But Croatian support will be limited, see:
Source: https://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kf6/team/
So it seems like Croatian support is only 30% done.

You could start helping, things will not change unless somebody puts some effort in it.
