    Wrong system language after I made an error after installation

    Hello,

    I just did a clean install from 18.04 to 20.04. Big improvements.
    But I made a mistake: I accidentality removed right-click (context menu) from the desktop. I couldn't change that back, because the menu was gone. Oops.
    Removed some lines from ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc (only the lines with RightButton). After logging in and out the right button worked again.

    Maybe there's no connection with the former, but now my system is in English. Programs are mostly still in Dutch, plasma too, but the shell etc are in English. When opening a console I get:

    manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct

    Searching for a solution I got the impression some things are important.

    /etc/default/locale is
    # File generated by update-locale
    LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8


    Running locale in konsole I get:

    locale: Kan LC_ALL niet op de standaard taalregio instellen: Bestand of map bestaat niet
    LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
    LANGUAGE=nl:en_US
    LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
    LC_NUMERIC=nl_NL.UTF-8
    LC_TIME=nl_NL.UTF-8
    LC_COLLATE=en_NL.UTF-8
    LC_MONETARY=nl_NL.UTF-8
    LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.UTF-8"
    LC_PAPER="nl_NL.UTF-8"
    LC_NAME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
    LC_ADDRESS="nl_NL.UTF-8"
    LC_TELEPHONE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT=nl_NL.UTF-8
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_NL.UTF-8"
    LC_ALL=


    The first line is in Dutch. It says translated

    locale: can't set LC_ALL to standard languageregion: File or map don't exist
    (translated, so the real message in English may differ a bit).

    Does somebody know how to get everything back to Dutch?

    Solved!

    Something changed ~/.config/plasma-localerc
    (Hmm, something? I was probably me with my former clever action...)

    Putting back the old file it solved it.
