panel is in wrong language

[mauricep]

Binary package hint: plasma-desktop

I installed German and switched the system to German. After some time, I attempted to change the system back into English. As a result, most of my system is now in English, with the exception of the KDE Menu and a few items on the panel, e.g. "Akuüberwachung Settings" is clearly a mixture of English and German.

After some frustration with this issue, I did a fresh install. I installed the French language pack and added it as a language to the systems settings languages - but did not make it a system default language. My motivation was that I wanted it available as a choice within applications, but not as my default language. Since doing this, some of my panel is in French. I have since removed French from this list, but it had no apparent effect.

This seems to be a severe bug in the language settings in Kubuntu (or KDE?)

This happens sometimes with me when I was fiddling with the configurations for English and Brazilian Portuguese. It seems that only removing completely the other language, in my case, English, and restarting KDE all the menus would be in the proper language. Kubuntu 11.04, KDE 4.6.2.

Is this still reproducible with 12.10?
