If you look under the KDE menu under System or, if you're using the
default Kickoff "slab" type menu under Applications -> System , you'll
find the entry "Administrator Settings". This will start YaST2, after
you enter the root password. Select Hardware in the left-hand column
of icons and then Language in the right pane. If it isn't there, you
may need to install the package yast2-country by using the
"Software Management".

As for the KDE System Settings, that would be "System Settings" and,
under the Kickoff style menu this is in the favourites right above
help, or under the Applications tab just below "Find Files/Folders".

Thanks David, I did have Yast open for this, found the setting under
system / language on my install. At present all working fine,
appreciate your help (and others as well).

As the above seems to have solved the issue, I left this step out -
sleeping dogs sort of thing.

Thanks for your patience.

I really do hate the new layout for YaST2. In all the releases, up to
11.0, the icons specific to each group of tasks were only displayed
when you selected that particular group of tasks. Then someone had the
really "bright" idea (or stupid IMO) of showing the whole lot in one
go. I find it really annoying and am prone to make mistakes, just as I
did in my last reply. You're right about it being under System. I
clicked hardware and that brought it into view.

There is. Under KDE, even if the GTK interface package isn't installed,
the QT interface is rendered with the same layout as the GTK interface.
The icons for all the available modules are displayed in the right hand
pane, just as they are in the QT interface, although there are some
differences.

In the QT interface, the task groupings are the same as the ncurses
interface, while the GTK interface puts them into alphabetical order,
with the exception of the "Other" group which it puts at the bottom of
the list.

Also, some of the modules are in different task groups. The group
Support under the QT interface is the same as the group Other under the
GTK interface. Power management comes under Miscellaneous under the GTK
interface, but under System under the QT interface. For some reason,
Remote Administration (VNC) comes under Network Devices under the GTK
interface, while it's under the proper Network Services under the QT
interface.
