I am in trouble.

I upgraded Slackware 9.1 to 10.0 and although all is working well, Kde does not seem to find its multilanguage support. So, all other (non english) locales appear either as random characters or squares everywhere (kwrite, konqueror, bookmarks etc.).

So, I reinstalled from scratch 9.1 base system only, upgraded it to 10.0, rebooted and installed all the rest from 10.0 but the problem continues as it was.

I always use upgradepkg --install-new for my upgrades and occasionally use the --reinstall.

Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox etc. have no problem. The problem is only between kde and kdei (speaking in a Slackware installation language).

All .new configuration files have been checked and put to work.

Has this happened to anyone else?
I'm asking here after browsing results in Google, but no article was sufficient.

Did you install the international packages In KDE? KDEI packages (http://www.slackware.com/pb/?vers=slackware-current&set=kdei&package=kde-i18n-es-3.2.3-noarch-1)

Settings---->Control Center----->Regional & Accessibility, you can add languages to KDE. See if that is what you need.

Yes, I have. It's strange. When the automatic encoding selection fails, they are random characters. When I switch manually to the correct they become squares.
