SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
When changing the interface language in Regional Settings from the language
chosen at installation to another language, it's impossible to change it back,
as the installation language is not present on the list of languages. It's
possible to recover the installation language by changing
'.config/plasma-localerc', but resulted in odd behaviour (dead keys stopped
working, etc.). The only fix found by this user was to delete
'.config/plasma-localerc' and restart Plasma. (This was tried on an
installation of Kubuntu 22.10, with latest Plasma from backports. The language
chosen when installing was Icelandic. I changed the interface language to
'American English' to compare language elements, but Icelandic was not present
on the list of languages when I wanted to change it back)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Select Regional Settings > Region & Language
3. In the entry 'Language', click the 'Modify' button
4. In the 'Language' view, click 'Change Language' and choose a different
language from the list
5. Click 'Apply', log out and log in again
6. Repeat the steps above. In step 4., after clicking 'Change Language' the
original language should be available on the language list, but it is missing
OBSERVED RESULT
After changing the language from the original installation language to another
language, it is not possible to change it back to the original language, as it
is not present on the language list
EXPECTED RESULT
Original installation language present on the language list, and should be no
problem in changing back and forth.
