When you write "configured my keyboard to Brazilian Portuguese on KDE plasma", do you mean you used 'System Settings' > 'Regional Settings' and 'System Settings' > 'Input devices' > 'Keyboard' | 'Layouts'?
Check the contents of the file ~/.config/plasma-localerc to see if the LANG variable is set to the desired locale. For example:
| Code: | $ cat ~/.config/plasma-localerc
[Formats]
LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 |
If it is not, you can edit the file and set the desired locale. Alternatively, delete that file then logout and login again to make KDE Plasma pick up the values of the variables from the existing configuration. KDE Plasma will recreate the file.
Optionally you could edit that file to add other desired settings. For example:
| Code: | [Formats]
LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_NAME=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=pt_BR.UTF-8
useDetailed=true |
Also, please provide some more information about your Gentoo Linux installation. Is it using X Windows or Wayland? Is it using OpenRC or systemd? Which locale/locales is/are configured? For example, as I use British English, American English, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish, I have the following configured:
| Code: | fitzcarraldo@clevow230ss ~ $ locale -a
C
C.utf8
POSIX
en_GB
en_GB.iso88591
en_GB.utf8
es_ES
es_ES.iso88591
es_ES.utf8
pt_BR
pt_BR.iso88591
pt_BR.utf8 |
and, as I use British English, US English, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish keyboards, I have configured X Windows to allow me to switch between keyboards by using Alt-Shift or clicking on the Keyboard Layout icon on the KDE System Tray on the KDE Panel:
| Code: | fitzcarraldo@clevow230ss ~ $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
# See /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst for Options.
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb,us,br,es"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbVariant" "extd,altgr-intl,,"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,compose:paus"
EndSection |
