first thing: I'm using KDEneon as system, no particular mods. I have a small problem is really small but is bothering me... I set system-wide English language, but than something puzzling happen. The 12h time format was bothering me pretty much, so I set on the system settings C as time format (Settings->Regional Settings->Formats) and the login screen was not changing the time format.

I found that I need to change the locale settings, so I opened and modified etc/default/locale and under LC_TIME=I put as well C. It worked for a while, but after a while it got broken.

Anyone can tell me what could have went wrong or if the SDDM login screen is related to a different config file for setting date and time format? Any help for troubleshooting?

I had the same issue and found a solution. I'm running the KDE-spin of Fedora 38. I'm not 100% why, but you have to use localectl to change settings for SDDM. This includes the keyboard layout (which also was a problem for me).

I was using de_AT.UTF-8 on my system, but when I ran localectl I got:

System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    VC Keymap: sv-latin1
   X11 Layout: sv, at
  X11 Variant: ,

You can use localectl list-locales to list all available ones. As I live in Austria I opted for de_AT.UTF-8, so running the following helped me:

localectl set-locale de_AT.UTF-8

I hope it will help you out!
