 <para>
 On this page you can set your preferred languages and formats for the &plasma; Workspace and
 Applications to be displayed in.
 </para>
 
 <para>
 In most cases, you can simply select the language, and all
 options will be set in an appropriate manner.
 The &plasma; Workspace and &kde; Applications are written in American English and are
 translated into many different languages by teams of volunteers. These
 translations need to be installed first before you can choose to use them.
 </para>
 <note><para>Ensure that you have installed the &plasma; language packages or translations for the
 languages you want to use.</para>
 <para>As &plasma; is build upon the &Qt; libraries, you need the &Qt; translations for the selected
 languages as well to have a fully localized &GUI;.</para></note>
 
 
 <para>
 On each selection bar you can see examples how the settings look
 like and which measurement units are used. In addition to numbers, you can see 
 how currency values, dates, and times in long and short format are displayed.
 When you change any of the settings, the preview shows the effects of the
 changes before you apply them.
 </para>
 
 <para>
 Clicking on the <guilabel>Add more...</guilabel> button on the language
 sub page will show you the list of available
 languages and will initially show your currently selected language. If the
 selection shows <quote>No Language Configured</quote> then you have not set a country
 and are defaulting to the language set by the system, normally C.
 If the language you want to use is
 not shown in this list then you will need to install it using the usual method
 for your system.
 </para>
 
 <para>You can remove a language from the main list by selecting it and then clicking
 on the <inlinemediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="list-remove.png" format="PNG"/>
 </imageobject></inlinemediaobject> icon. You can change the order of preference in the
 list by selecting a language and clicking on the <inlinemediaobject><imageobject>
 <imagedata fileref="go-top.png" format="PNG"/>
 </imageobject></inlinemediaobject> icon.
 </para>
 
 <para>
 In case you need different individual format settings,
 you can select the locale for <guilabel>Numbers</guilabel>, <guilabel>Time</guilabel>,
 <guilabel>Currency</guilabel> and <guilabel>Measurement Units</guilabel>.
 </para>
 
 <note>
 <para>
 Previously, Language and Formats are independent settings. Since &plasma; 5.26, they were
 merged into this KCM called Region And Language. Changing a language does
 <emphasis>automatically change</emphasis> the settings for numbers,
 currency &etc; to the corresponding country or region. However, this change
 does not break the old configuration. The configuration file still located
 at <emphasis>~/.config/plasma-localerc</emphasis> .
