Details

* $LANG: zh_CN.UTF-8
* $LANGUAGE: zh_CN
* Enabled locale in /etc/locale.conf: LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
* Enabled locales in /etc/locale.gen: en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8, zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8
* DE: KDE Plasma 5.17.4
* Kernel: 5.4.6-zen3-1-zencjk

Description:
The display language of Neovim remains English under zh_CN locale on KDE Plasma.
If the locale file is linked to the correct place (ln -s /usr/share/locale/zh_CN.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/nvim.mo /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/), it will show zh_CN translation as expected.
Neovim is the only package to put locale file under /usr/share/locale/zh_CN.UTF-8, I assume it's wrong and we should use /usr/share/locale/zh_CN as other packages do. This goes to zh_TW as well.
However, Neovim can show the correct translation on GNOME without linking the locale file (other environments are the same as above).
This task depends upon

Append: "Neovim is the only package (on my machine) to put locale file under /usr/share/locale/zh_CN.UTF-8"

Looking into this a little bit, it seems to be an upstream bug as they choose the names for the locales and maybe there is some logic behind that name. Please report it as an upstream bug and link it here.

Essentially this is not a bug, I find the $LANGUAGE (zh_CN) set by KDE Plasam locale settings to be the culprit. I think I should just use /etc/locale.conf only (thus $LANGUAGE will be not set) and Neovim will behave well.
