It applies for 3.3.2-r1 on my box. When first starting KDE it asks for few things. One of them is my Language. I choose Polish. Then everything is in Polish, except two troubles: - when creating on Desktop (or whenever else) a directory with polish characters, all of them are replaced with "?" marks (except "ó") - when trying to type polish characters in Konsole, same thing happens After some "research" I found out it was using for those two things ISO8859-1 instead of expected ISO8859-2. My fix was to add LC_ALL=pl_PL to /etc/env.d/99something and env-update && source /etc/profile. After that everything was fine. So my question is - shouldn't KDE set that environmental variable properly by itself? It may happend that on one BOX somebody may be using few languages.
I'm not an expert on localization, but according to our localization guide (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml), the correct behavior is exactly to set the LC_* variables in a file such as /etc/env.d/02locale. kde should run in an environment that has those variables already set.
