Changing locale via KDE

“Locale has been configured, but this KCM currently doesn’t support auto locale generation on your system, please refer to your distribution’s manual to install fonts and generate locales”

I get this message trying to change locale via KDE.

I did change it manually from German to English due to a friend coming over, but it is definitely not set correctly. Basically it falls back to English, which is fine enough by me.

However it would be nice if using the KDE settings would actually work to change locale.

Did I mess that up and it’s supposed to work?

If it doesn’t work on CachyOS is there any way I can help to make it work? (I can write a bash script, some Python, etc. I’d be happy to spend a few hours)

maybe this could help ?

Thank you. I’m aware of that and that I could fix my misconfiguration. This thread is about the KDE GUI option not doing it’s job.

i. e. this wiki page is not something I could hand to an Apple-User. - And it seems rather easy to fix.

it sounds like auto locale generation is supported on other Systems and I’d like to know what I can do to make it work on CachyOS as a dev project. - Or if I should even try. I’m more than happy if someone just says “Yeah no we didn’t get around to it, it’s very rare for locale to be changed after installation” and look into it myself.

Implement it in KDE.
