Yes, I'm observing [almost] empty USB charging screen on pl_PL.UTF-8 locale after installing of pl localization bundle.
It looks like creating of sub-directory at
/usr/share/locale and setting of appropriate environment variables (by filling of
/var/local/system/locale) aren't enough for using localized messages. The locale by itself must be introduced. Known locales are contained at
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive. On my KT, I am seeing there strings
en_US.utf8,
de_DE.utf8,
ru_RU.utf8 and some others, but there is no
pl_PL.utf8. Locale could be added to locale archive by
localedef utility (which is available on KT), but I didn't investigate further...
..oh, output of
strings /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive | grep utf8 and
localedef --list-archive is identical. Just a note.

Is this different for you? (I'm expecting "ru_RU.UTF-8" to be the result of the update, not "ru.UTF-8") |
There is no automatic change of locale after installing of localization bundle (I understand that it's not a bug). I've changed locale manually, with editing of
/var/local/system/locale, and firstly set it as
ru.UTF-8 (because there is
/usr/share/locale/ru directory). It didn't worked. So I've made a note about it, just for sharing of experience.
