Bug ID: 465384 Summary: Support a way to set a preference for CJK character variants (Han unification) in KCM or derive it automatically Classification: Applications Product: systemsettings Version: 5.26.5 Platform: Other OS: Other Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_regionandlang Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: waz...@protonmail.com CC: hanyo...@protonmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 156001 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=156001&action=edit old vs new KCM differences SUMMARY Right now there doesn't seem to be a way to set the user's preference for CJK characters such as 今 and 置 that are displayed differently across Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Before the language/format KCM merge, after much trouble, I discovered it was possible to change this using Region in the old KCM (a crude solution). See attachment, tested on Kubuntu 22.04 with Plasma 5.24. However setting the region isn't available in the new KCM. I'm unable to find a way to switch away from Japanese character variants on Fedora, even when the system's primary language is set to Chinese. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. On a recent Fedora KDE, install with English as the system language (maybe not needed) 2. It displays Japanese variants by default 3. Add Chinese to the language list in an attempt to display Chinese variants and restart session 4. It doesn't work OBSERVED RESULT There seems to be no way to set this preference. EXPECTED RESULT There should be a way to set unicode CJK preference in the systemsettings GUI. The way this works e.g. on Windows and Android is that if there is Chinese/Japanese in the language list (even as a secondary one below the primary UI language), the system displays that language's variants of affected characters whenever possible. Is there something KDE can do about this and apply the appropriate setting to the system according to the language list so that this is achieved?
