Display language issue

9999

So basically when I installed okular, it was showing some arabic language. But since okular is based on qt5 then I checked that so whole problem was starting from qt5 configuration tool. In this tool box everything is in Arabic so I'm not being able to get anything. I want to change the display language for this qt5 configuration tool.

@9999
did u try the shell thing ?
LC_ALL=C /xx/okular

9999

Yes, I did. It's showing "can't change locale". Actually I am working with Gnome environment and okular is for KDE. Does that sound problematic?

Can anyone solve this issue?

What locale are you using ?
What does your distribution provide to setup language support ?
What desktop system are you using ?

@SGaist hi, thanks for replying.
I'm using Antergos linux with GNOME3 environment. The locale of system is en_US.UTF-8.
The main problem with system is that it doesn't support any devanagari script in any browser. When I installed devanagari font separately, it's changing the language of qt5ct and qt based apps.
For installing the font separately I used the command "sudo pacman -S ttf-indic-otf".
Any further help will be appreciated.

KDE has it's own system for loading translations, and Okular is a KDE application.

KDE settings have a Language setting where you can select the Preferred Language: For Plasma 5, you can open it by launching 'systemsettings' (sometimes called 'systemsettings5').

Alternatively you can try setting KDE_LANG environment variable, e.g. KDE_LANG=en_US.

If this doesn't help, I suggest contacting a KDE forum.
