Since I am not entirely sure, whether this is KDE or Gentoo issue, I am also reporting the bug here. After upgrading to plasmas 5.19.3, the systemwide locale format setting from /etc/env.d/02locale are ignored in plasma. # cat /etc/env.d/02locale LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8" LC_COLLATE="C" INSIDE PLASMA $ env | grep -e "LANG\|LC_" LANGUAGE= LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8 LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8 $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= ON TTY $ env | grep -e "LANG\|LC_" LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8" LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8 LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= I have tried to delete ~/.config/plasma-localerc, but this did not changed anything.

Created attachment 648468 [details, diff] revert-edc64d04a1e569d7032c41e6ee0ebf59833c26f2-fix_system_locale_not_respected.patch Upstream identified the faulty change: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/100 I have attached a patch to revert that merge request. This patch fixed the problems for me. I would suggest to apply that patch on a revbump of plasma-workspace (at least if 5.19.3 should become stable).
