YaST showing in random languages

English Applications
1

I normally use openSUSE 13.2 in Danish, and so far it has worked fine. But on one of my laptops, I have the very bizarre situation that YaST has suddenly started changing the language it displays in at random. When I bring it up from the Kickoff menu, the overview is in Danish. But when I open various modules, sometime they appear in Danish, but then sometimes in English, and sometimes a mixture, like one screen will be in Danish, and then when I click to proceed it shows in English.

This is not about incomplete translations, I made sure to verify this one another of my systems.

Does anybody know what could be causing this?

A bug?

There is a report here e.g.:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843573

Btw, it works fine here.

Maybe try different settings for root in YaST->System->Language->Details.
I have “Only ctype” here, but try all options.

Ah yes, that does indeed seem to be it. Hopefully it will be resolved.

Thanks for the tip on the language option, I will give it a shot to see if it could work as a workaround for the time being. :slight_smile:
