Using KDE Plasma 6.3.1 completely up to date. My system language is set to German.
Problem: If I press restart or shut down in the start menu (Picture 1), the window where you have to confirm/cancel your action pops up. In this window the text below the symbols for the actions is in English (Picture 2 and Picture 3).
Question: Is there a setting or something for that, which I am missing that can change this? Has anyone, with an other language the same experience? If this looks like a bug, does somebody know if it has been reported? (I am new to this world of Linux and FOSS and could not find a bug report)
Some thoughts: I know some people are gonna think this is a small problem, but I think it is a piece needed for a complete experience. So if you have some information’s or hints for me i would appreciate it. If this turns out to be a bug, I will be happy submit a bug report. Just wanted to check with you guys, as I am new to this and was not completely sure.

You can report the bug for i18n-de, or you could even contribute in this community. Since it does not involve code but just a process, almost anybody can contribute for their own language (except for languages with 100% translation).
When you don’t find an existing bug for your issue, report it. Not reporting a bug is worse not having duplicate reports.
Users can’t know what is the cause of issues or which component is responsible for it and are not expected to know this, that’s ok to make mistakes when reporting issues, try to include relevant information and a good description (screenshots) and the ball in the active contributor corner.
Thanks for the quick response. So reporting it like i would report a normal bug, will lead to this getting solved, even if it is connected to translation stuff.
Regarding translating it myself: Do you have more ressources on how the process works and where I could find Informations? You made me quite curious about that. Where/How do I check if a language has been fully translated?
KDE Localization
Welcome to the KDE Localization web site, the platform for KDE translators, doc writers, XML wizards, and everybody working on Internationalization [i18n], Localization [l10n], and documentation of KDE.
What you will find here are resources for practical translation and documentation work, such as:
The current list of KDE translation teams and their coordinators, including mailing lists, web sites and a few hints about the status of the individual teams.
Statistics of what is, and is not, already translated for both the Applications and the Documentation, in the KDE SVN repository.
The KDE Translation Howto and its previous version where you can find out how to introduce a new language to KDE, how to translate the user interface, the documentation, and everything related to this process.
The Internationalization menu provides some links to the KDE Techbase Wiki. In particular, coding aspects are covered in the Techbase Localization Tutorials.
