Ok, but you didn't answered to one question:
what version of kde-l10n-de you have? 3.5.x or 4.2.0?

$ aptitude show kde-l10n-de
Package: kde-l10n-de
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 4:4.2.0-1
[...]


Furthermore changing my locale information fails as I don't know where I added the current settings the last time. Locale settings is a topic I try to avoid if possible.

on a new user account you shouldn't have a .kde directory
(or I misunderstood what you said)

same here, default language setting from kde (generic english) but it works
in french without problem

it looks like a kde problem, but just in case (sorry if it's stupid):
What is the default locale on the system ?
(check the uncommented ones in /etc/locale.gen)
And did you try to install another desktop ?

I had kpowerdaemon (or something similarly called) still installed, which might have triggered the creation after login.

$ cat /etc/locale.gen | grep -v "#"

de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15

de_DE ISO-8859-1

de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8

en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8

en_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8

ko_KR.UTF-8 UTF-8

zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8

zh_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8

zh_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8

zh_TW.UTF-8 UTF-8



reportbug reports the following settings:

Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)



I didn't try installing another desktop like gnome.



But, now I just tried resetting my LC_MESSAGES (being default C)

$ LC_MESSAGES=de_DE kwrite

and this gives me a perfect German environment for kwrite.

So I guess that would solve my problem.

Now, am I being unreasonable asking for a consistent useage of languages, or is it a bug?

I'd advice using de_DE.UTF-8 as default.

AFAIK KDE apps still ignore the normal LC_* and LANG settings using the
setting in the kdeglobals config file or KDE_LANG variable instead

can you try running 'KDE_LANG=de <appname>' for one of the apps that is
showing the problem?

As I wrote before:

$ LC_MESSAGES=de_DE kwrite

opens a full German session of kwrite, and my system since then is full German now, as I moved away from having LC_MESSAGES set to 'C'.

Still not happy with it and I believe it is a bug that KDE cannot decide which language to use.

Actually Inkscape (being a Gnome product) since then is German too, so I guess that respecting LC_MESSAGES for menus and stuff is the intended behaviour.



I might ask on kde-devel or look for a bug report to bring this to KDE's attention.
