Hello, I've a strange behaviour in my live remix when I try to set language using System settings > Regional settings > Language. I just get "American English" and "British English" and nothing else. I know there is a bug [1] in language settings.
Is this behaviour due to the bug or I'm missing something? Does anyone know where the language list sourced from?
Regards Massimiliano
The choice of English is only for the installation, thereafter you will find the full choice of languages, including several English language options.

Hmm... official image (Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso) allows you to add/choose any language during the live session. But my live remix doesn't, I think I'm missing something with latest Plasma...
Thanks
Still investigating. A similar issue is described here [1].
I realize that latest plasma versions seem to inherit locale settings from systemd. I used to set my locale by configuring the file ~/.config/plasma-localerc in this way:
# Plasma locale settings cat > /etc/skel/.config/plasma-localerc << PLASMALOCALE_EOF [Formats] LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
[Translations] LANGUAGE=it PLASMALOCALE_EOF
I've removed this code: plasma now uses the localectl settings by default. Still I can't see some translations (plasma objects). Now the strange thing, from my live remix:
# ls /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/ -l total 140 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 988 mag 4 15:44 kcm_mobile_broadband.mo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 822 mag 4 15:44 kcm_mobile_hotspot.mo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2313 mag 4 15:44 kcm_mobile_wifi.mo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1114 mag 4 15:37 kdecoration.mo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 123142 mag 25 17:58 libc.mo
# rpm -q --list plasma-desktop | grep /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_org.kde.panel.mo /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_org.kde.panel.mo
# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_org.kde.panel.mo error: file /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_org.kde.panel.mo: File o directory non esistente
# dnf reinstall plasma-desktop
# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/plasma_applet_org.kde.panel.mo plasma-desktop-5.21.5-1.fc34.x86_64
Re-installing the plasma-desktop package does the magic: translations are back! I suppose two possible explanations: 1. Some "cleaner" remove translations from live builds (where? why?) 2. Plasma package doesn't install messages from some reason
Any suggestion is welcome.

The killer is... Fedora itself. I started using podman for live image building. Fedora official containers intentionally drop language support to save space, something like this:
# Set install langs macro so that new rpms that get installed will # only install langs that we limit it to. LANG="en_US" echo "%_install_langs $LANG" > /etc/rpm/macros.image-language-conf
After cleaning the /etc/rpm folder everything went back to normality.
