OpenSUSE :: Get German Only Menue (without Some English Relics)?
Jul 28, 2011
I tried to install KDE 4.7 from the repositories. After a reboot KMail2 wanted to convert my emails..., resulting in no emails, no calendar, no addresses . The conversion didn't work. I reinstalled KDE 4.6.5 (stable 4.6 repository) and the emails were available , but my Kontact appeared in a mixture of german and english (also KMail2 in KDE4.7 was a mixture of german and english). Does somebody know, how to get german only menue (without some english relics)?
OpenSUSE 11.4 install from DVD with default options. (KDE Desktop, selected language and keyboard is German)
When installing from the 32bit media KDE is always English afterwards but when installing from the 64bit media I will have a german KDE as expected. Changing country & language & preferred language on the 32bit does not help - still in English.
I have now a second post on the work I am doing. I am trying to complete a model for translating English texts into German. My concept is a model using a text editor with only simple executable scripts being written to perform steps in the process. I need to use a language for doing simple things like tagging words and translating using a dictionary I am building. I am beginning to use AWK in conjunction with Bash and need to find some members with whom I can dialog on particular topics; even getting advice. Are there any AWK users in the community, using the language for processing text?
I am learning japanese and I would like to be able to switch between english and japanese input while keeping an english interface. How would I achieve that? I am using KDE, by the way.
In the Kiten documentation I read that pressing Shift+Space would enable japanese input (built-in in Kiten, according to the documentation). But that does not seem to work in my system.
I'm trying to make Japanese input work with Scim, but when I modify Locale to make it work, all the menu(pulldown menu, title etc.)also becomes Japanese too. Is there anyway to keep English menus/titles while Japanese(or any other language) input method with SCIM is enabled ?
I recently installed language packs for Japanese and changed my system language to it, too. The problem is, now that I try to go back to English, the locale doesn't change back, only the menus are in english. "Apply system wide" in the Language Support didn't do anything; Firefox is in japanese too. Here is my locale output:
I am creating a latex document (in English) where I want to write some Sanskrit words in Devanagari script. In my debian-5.0.4 OS where I have texlive-latex3 I did it by installing a package called latex-sanskrit. Is there any such package for opensuse-11.2 and which repository contains it? It will be preferable if it can be installed by yast2.
I'm seeking to make permanent a selection in openSUSE-11.4 LXDE between english and Thai keyboards. And I need help here, as I have only succeed partially. After installing Thai via YaST regional settings, I followed the advice in an LXDE forum here LXDE.org Forum - View topic - How to add layouts to keyboard preferences in LXDE? and on the LXDE Panel I righted click on LXPanel->Add/Remove Panel Items->Panel Applets->Add->Keyboard Layout Switcher. Upon a restart of X that gave me a US flag symbol (for US keyboard) in lower right hand corner. No other language selection. I then as a regular user sent the command
and I then had a choice between Thai and US keyboard which worked well. That unfortunately is only temporary until the next reboot. HOW to make it permanent ? I tried, and I was unable to make that permanent. I tried adding .Xkbmap to /home/user (restarted/tested) and when that failed I tried adding .Xmodmap to /home/user (restarted/tested) and when that failed I tried adding /etc/X11/Xkbmap (restarted/tested) and when that failed I added same line to /etc/X11/Xmodmap (restarted/tested) and that also failed. The line in all cases was
I could create a script with my 1st successful effort (and have that run when LXDE starts up) but surely there is a more elegant way? I am also NOT keen to have this system wide (even thou I tried that system wide (unsuccessfully) at the end) but I would rather only have this for one LXDE user.
I have a keyboard layout built in Korean language, and when i installed openSUSE 11.3 by network installation i keep keyboard layout to Korean. But after installation can't write Korean but still see Korean font in Firefox, cuz i added its font on firefox configuration settings. What shall i do? I want installed in English but still need to use Korean fonts to write something.
I am going to install a computer for multi-language support for English and the Korean Hangul written language. I would like to configure the input from the keyboard to switch from English to Korean. I have keyboard with English and Korean and I would like to configure one of the keyboard buttons to switch the input language similar to how Microsoft multi-language support works. What applications and configuration changes are necessary to implement this.
I have one java web application deployed in Linux environment by which I am trying to download file's from Linux server. These files have samba mounting from windows server. While downloading any file, if the file name contains simple english characters it works fine but if that file name contain German character's like then file corrupt while downloading. After analysis I found that after samba mounting these Germen characters get replaced with '?' in Linux (May be Linux unable to identify characters).Linux environment is set to LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
And we have done mounting with below options, iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=cp850 and also try with iocharset=utf8. Also try by installing following package, kde-i18n-German-3.0.0-5.noarch.rpm but it doesnt help us.
The same application works fine in windows environment. I check it on internet, and I found that for this issue you have to add support for German characters in Linux environment. Anybody know how to add German character support to Linux or How to resolve this issue??
i'm running Debian "lenny" x86 on KDE. Back in Windows, I was able to switch between keyboard input languages by pressing certain hotkeys on my English keyboard. For instance if I switched to German, the semicolon button would become I think a umlaut or o umlaut. Is there any close equivalent in Debian? I know of 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data', however even if it did work (which in my case it didn't), it would be a hassle to type in commands at the terminal to switch between keyboard input languages, compared to just pressing hotkeys.
Got a little problem with my keyboard layout (de -- German; all variants). Everything worked fine until a few days ago. I noticed that the tilde (usually accessible via [AltGr]+[+]) doesn't work any more. What it shows instead is the "bracketright". Even worse, almost every AltGr combination seems to have changed -- the brackets enclosing AltGr and + in the former sentence were achieved by "AltGR"+"�" (left) and "AltGr"+"+" (right). Here's what gnome-keyboard-properties looks like, when I select any German keyboard layout -- minus "insert", "delete", ... and the num block:
Not only has the tilde disappeared from its regular position, it can't be found anywhere on the keyboard. This holds true from the login screen to the regular workspace. Switching to tty1..6 or booting up a VM, everything works fine. I didn't touch anything which affects the keyboard layout -- or is dpgk-reconfigure fontconfig doing something like this? ^^
live in the German speaking part of Switzerland and therefore a Swiss German keyboardThere are only 3 different keyboard layouts: Switzerland, Switzerland eliminate dead keys/sun keysThe problem is: I desperately need the dead keys to type the be ?rall of the layouts have the dead keys eliminated so the only way is to use caps lock, but that's not all that great.
I am using mnemosyne [URL]... for my Spanish vocabulary and I would like to add some dictionaries so that I won't have to type it all in myself. There are several English-Spanish dictionaries, but the problem is I would like it German-Spanish or vice versa. Does anybody know where I can find some?
Trying to stream a live video feed from Rock am Ring which is available via the German SWR3 TV website. Trouble is, I am in the UK and it seems to only be avaialable to German IP addresses. Have tried various German web proxies, but to no avail. I suspect the service provider knows about them all and is stopping them also. Getting the error from the server, Server Error The connection to the streaming server has been disconnected. Any networking gurus out there who may know a way around this.
After upgrading to 13.37 the german keyboard-layout in xfce (v4.6.2) can be set but won't be saved. After rebooting the keyboard starts with english layout.
Recently I faced a problem in typing in English in OpenSuse 11.3.When I try to type in English it shows me Greek letter and worse than that I think it is really Greek (not only in font) because when I enter my passwords or try to type a command in terminal I get error,I tested with UK and USA and all other English languages and I still have this problem. I even do reset in my keyboard layout setting and in KDE setting but it didn't help.
I have installed Slackware 13 with language support and run it in init 4 mode (GUI, automatically start to KDE). When logout the menu is in arabic or some symbols that I don't understand. I try to set locale to English, but still the same symbols appear.I fix it. How can I delete this thread?
I was curious if this is the standard behaviour... I had all my F12 system in spanish, including Firefox. But now after I upgraded to F13, Firefox switched to english (the rest of my system remains in spanish).So, is this supposed to happen or something went wrong? How could I fix it?
I downloaded ubuntu from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download.I open the ISO file with Daemon tools and the installation menu comes up, but it is in French. I want to install it in English.I live in a French province of Canada was I automatically directed to download a French version of Ubuntu based on my geography? Or, did Ubuntu detect that the version of windows I am running is French?The date and time are French, but nothing else.I just found this laptop in a garbage pile recently... so I'm not sure what's going on with the language in windows.
Im an engineer from Puerto Rico. Here, I have to write emails, letters,etc. in spanish and english. For that reason, I need a "Spell Check" and be able to use accents in spanish and english using my email (most of time Gmail) and other programs like OpenOffice (docs,etc.). There are a couple of post but none of them can solve my problem. My OS is Ubuntu 10.10.
I'm from the US, and we spell things a little differently here. For example: there's no "u" in "honor" here. I'd be pleased if I could make it so that spellcheck quits questioning my use of the letter "z" and lack of the letter "u" all the time.Any way I can do it? I'm using 10.10, if that makes a difference.
Please recommend me the best book in English Language and the best website in English Language that teach me Linux step by step.The PDFs of the books are better!!I just want to learn LinuxOS as deeper as I can！！！
