I don't beleive changing the language or other variable in the SuSEconfig.wm
will work. All the text of the KDE menu system,is in English. The only place
the language variables are used (as far as I can tell) is in the (human
readable) text lables of the KDE menu system. The problem is that (unlike
most of the programs on the KD menus) the application itself is different for
German and English ('hilfe' in the former and 'susehelp' in the latter). I
don't know what would happen if another language was specified. I suspect
you'd get the German system (hilfe) no matter what you requested.
There's an easy work around (just create your own shortcut instead of using
the system generated one). And even if you didn't do this, the German page
has a handy hyperlink to the English page. It just annoys me in general when
computer systems do silly things like this, because its clear that it could
be fixed easily. Its all the more frustrating since this is the help system
for which beginners like myself will turn to often. I could probably fix it
myself. I just didn't have any interest in chasing down (and learning the
syntax for) the myriad scripts to find the cause. Perhaps after I become more
adept at Linux I'll try to fix the set-up scripts.
Thanks
