Ubuntu :: Multiple Languages Not Working?
Oct 12, 2010
I'd like to be able to use the Gnome desktop and programs in several languages, as far as I can see I have installed the necessary language support for the desired languages, but only my default language (Finnish) is working the way it should. When I select any other language when I check into a new session I still get most everything in Finnish, except that the date is in the selected language, but with Finnish endings. Weird! The language change seems to affect some programs, but not the Gnome interface.
I had this problem in 10.04 and was hoping it might disappear in 10.10, but there is no change. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to upgrade or reinstall the language files in some way, or what?

Is it possible to install multiple system languages on ubuntu, hopefully 10.10, since I'll be upgrading pretty soon? I'm a native spanish speaker, so I currently use my system in spanish, but when I see the option at log in to change the language, I'm wondering if that will change the system language as well. Menus, man pages if they exist, etc? I'd like to be able to install numerous languages and switch between them, either at log in or actually from within my system. How's Arabic and Italian support as well, does anyone know?

Well I have been interested in programming for a while, and just found out about Linux and Unix. I started out with Java, but now I know I bunch: Flash, C++, C and others. I was working on a mac so I made a few flash games then started to work on iPhone games. I was board one day and I found out about Unix and I thought that would be something else to try.So in an attempt to learn about Unix I have been reading different articles about it, and have heard of using different languages in one program. The article I was reading didn't give any examples, and it assumed the reader has programmed Unix before.
So how do you write programs in multiple languages, which languages would you use, and why would you want to do that?

I will be doing actual development and testing on the same machine as the server. It is a single user machine in the sense that I will be the only one working on the machine. There will be multiple hosted languages, specifically PHP and RoR while possibly expanding later. I'd like the setup to translate well to a production environment. With those 3 things in mind there are a couple of things I've had in the back of mind.Seeing as it's a single user machine I haven't been able to decide whether or not I should be working on things out of my home directory or if they should be located outside of it.I'm feeling that outside of a user directory would be better as it would translate better to a production environment, but I'm also not sure if that will come with any permission annoyances or concerns seeing as I'll be working on the same machine. Hosting multiple languages seems like it may be a bit quirky. With PHP I've found you're generally just dumping the project somewhere in the document root where as something like a Rails app you have the entire project and you only want the public directory in the document root.

I had Ubuntu 9.10 running ok, but I've decided to try Lucid Lynx with Kubuntu and was quite impressed with the quality of KDE. Everything worked out of the box also.Until I tried to login with two other accounts this computer had...With one of the users I get both errors seen on the snapshot. One regarding the network manager (which I think it was given just because it was already started by another user), and the ibus error, which completely locks the user from accessing any other drive or usb disk.For the third user, even if creating it from scratch (not re-using his /home), I get an error:
Code:
kstartupconfig4 does not exist or fails. The error code is 3. Check your installation.
/home is in another partition that's been used since 7.10 I think. I did cancel all /. from

I am keen on learning foreign languages, so I occasionally install foreign versions of applications to learn the language. For instance, under win7 English I had a french Skype and a german Firefox. I moved to Ubuntu-Desktop a while ago (actually i had been working with linux servers for years now). In Ubuntu-English all programs in App Manager are english as well (as it should be). What is the simplest way for me to install Firefox and, for example, OpenOffice in another language using Synaptic (I understand I can download and compile pretty much everything myself or download .debs - I just do not want go this way).?

There is a scripting language made for Windows called AutoIt. It can do things like, for example, if a user highlights a word and presses a certain hotkey, it can copy that word into memory, open up firefox, go to google.com, paste the word into the text box, and click the button to search. What are some of the easiest scripting languages in Linux to learn that can do this?

I installed "squeeze" in English. I would like to add, at minimum, another language.I read through the various Debian manuals, but could find no reference to adding a language.I have googled for an answer for over one and a half hours. There were numerous inputs, but none, that I could find, gave me the answer.I searched for an answer in this forum in "Beginners' and in "General".All kinds of answers here but again, I came away without knowing how to add a language.I am coming off Ubuntu, which contained a simple method to add a language, so I have been spoiled pretty badly, I think.

We are using Maverick Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a eeePC and trying to use the advanced uploader on facebook to upload photos. The simple uploader works fine. When we try to use the advanced uploader, nautilus loads fine but when you select pictures and choose open, nothing happens. I read on a few websites that the facebook advanced uploaded uses ActiveX and Java. I tried installing Open JDK and Iced Tea along with Firefox and that did not help. The real kicker is this works fine on my regular computer running Lucid Linx. I may have something installed on that thing that makes it work but I have no idea what..

I'm trying to get 4 monitors working in Ubuntu 11.04 the way I would like to. I have two Radeon video cards with two monitors connected to each. With proprietary ATI drivers and the Catalyst Control Center I'm able to see all the monitors and Have Multi-Display setups, but they're separated for each video card. I can move items to and from Monitor 1 to Monitor 2, and Monitor 3 to Monitor 4. I'm not able to move windows from 2 to 3 or 4. The two separate display setups have their own set of workspaces too. I've tried enabling xinerama, but when I log back in after a restart the screen is just black and I'm forced to reboot manually. The two separate displays wouldn't be that much of a problem except that my keyboard doesn't seem to work on any application opened on monitors 3 and 4 after I've clicked on something in Monitor 1 or 2.
Below is one of the configs I've been messing around with:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
#Screen "amdcccle-Screen[2]-0" 3840 0
#Screen "amdcccle-Screen[1]-1"
Identifier "Layout0"
[Code].....

First I give a short description what we tried, then I put our questions. Problem: How to get to run the languages using a live system without a hard disc? We use Kubuntu live 10.04, because it is said to support many languages. What we did:
First we got a burner programm and the isoimages 10.04 for CD and DVD on a hard disc of a windows system and burnt a CD and a DVD. Then we tried both CD and DVD to set in the KDE different system languages and keyboard layout languages and to write languages. In both cases we got a message that the languages are not completely in the isoimage and we started the download of the missing packages. The CD version interrupted the download with an error message. It does not work. We continued with the DVD and could successfully complete the doemload. We could write different languges, but not Korean, Japanese and Chinese. We could change the system language to Korean, but the setting of the keyboard layout didn't give any Hangul/ Korean Characters, only Latin. We tried many things and ask somebody knowing quite well without any success. We tried to toggle/change/switch between Eenglish and Korean using right alt key and tab key, but a friend told us, that an input into a Korean web site typing on the keyboard as it would be a Korean keyboard, was accepted by the web site as the correct Korean input, but the letters that appeared on the screen as the echo of what was typed on the keyboard, was still Latin/English.Therefore we think it is not a problem how to switch between English and Korean. We are stuck with the Korean and didn't try everything for the Japanese and Chinese, we got some Kana but no Chinese characters. But wenn we tried to select a fifth languge keyboard layout, we got a limit and had to remove another one. That is very disappointing!
1) How to get an Korean keyboard echo, that means that the characters which are typed on the keyboard, appear on the screen as Korean characters?
2) How to increase the limit of four selected keyboard layouts.In Windows we can select more than a dozen. Why it is not possible to select any number of keyboardlayouts?

I'm using ubuntu 8.04, and when I load some things, like some games, it tells me I need flash player 10. I have downloaded it multiple times and installed it multiple times but nothing is working as it should. Is it because I'm still on 8.04?

I have Debian 8 installed, using:
* gdm3 as the default display manager (set up in "/etc/X11/default-display-manager");
* LXDE as the default desktop environment.
I did "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and I selected three languages: "en_US.UTF-8", "it_IT.UTF-8", "sv_SE.UTF-8" (the predefined one is "it_IT.UTF-8").Now I wish to create two more users each with a different language (both for X and console applications).I did a lot of googling without success; I tried modifying ~/.profile or ~/.dmrc (adding "export LANG=...") but they didn't work. I was able to change only the system-wide language, not the one of a single user.I got the conclusion that It's not possible to have multiple users each with a different language. Is it true?
I made another try.In another installation (Debian 8, with GNOME and LXDE) I created two users:antonio, ida.The former has only one hidden file in its home-dir: ".bashrc" with "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8" as the last line (no "export $LANG" added).The latter ("ida") has only two hidden files in its home-dir:
1. ".bashrc" clean, with no "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8" line
2. ".dmrc" containing two lines:
Language=sv_SE.utf8.I put "/usr/sbin/gdm3" in "/etc/X11/default-display-manager".After reboot both users are OK: each of them displays its own language: antonio has all menus and programs in italian ida has all menus and programs in swedish.
I was able to create 4 users with 4 languages (SE, IT, FR, ES). Then I deleted all directory and files (including "~/.bashrc" and "~/.dmrc") of one user, rebooted the PC, and NOTHING changed! So, where is stored the user's language?Not in his home; there is a list elsewere?
0. Use "lightdm" (not "gdm3") as the display manager (see "/etc/X11/default-display-manager")
To install it: su -c "apt-get install lightdm"
1. su -c "dpkg-reconfigure locales"
(select the desired locales: en_US.UTF-8, it_IT.UTF-8, sv_SE.UTF-8, etc; set "default locale for the system environment=None")
2. su -c "adduser emil" ("emil" is the name of a swedish user)
3. Logout
4. Select "Swedish" as default language (see at the top-right corner of the screen)
5. Write user name (emil) and password to login
6. After login, language is english (but file "~/.dmrc" is created with the correct language).
7. Reboot PC.
8. After reboot, login again as "emil": now language is Swedish
Now you can change the display manager to gdm3 if you prefer.To change applications language: su -c "apt-get install task-swedish task-swedish-desktop"
I found the file containing the user's language: it's the same containing the link to its icon:/var/lib/AccountsService/users/UserName.(needs "apt-get install accountsservice"). Editing that file is much simpler as I described earlier

I have a Linux system, RH Enterpise 5, that I must toggle between two different languages, one being English, but when I am in English mode I only want to get capital letters for my user programs. I can't use the Caps-lock key, because then the default key to toggle between the languages no longer works when Caps-lock is on and I need to be able to switch back and forth languages with a single key stroke. So, I need capital English letters but mixed case second language characters and a single key to toggle between the two. I can't figure out a solution for this. I have tried different mods to xmodmap, but can't solve it for both languages.Oh, slight correction, the default keys for toggling languages Alt-R and Alt-L are fine, just need upper case in English mode.

It seems to be impossible. (I'm talking about changing the language in the program options, menus, etc.) Does anyone have a work-around? Is this option available in Firefox? My need is specific: I use Firefox/Iceweasel only for Zotero (a citation management program), it would be useful for me to be able to switch back and forth between English and Russian to see what it's talking about.

I have a machine that I'm trying to setup as a reverse web proxy. It will have two NICs, eth0 will face the public network, and eth1 will face the "internal" network (connects to a switch that goes out to the other web servers that are statically assigned a private IP address).
When both interfaces are started, I can ping hosts on the 1.2.3.0 network and the 192.168.10.0 network without problem when doing so by IP, but if I try to run a ping or nslookup command with a DNS name, it does not work. I've tried commenting out my entries in /etc/resolv.conf and adding the DNS entries in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files directly (DNS1=x.x.x.x and DNS2=x.x.x.x), but the results are the same.

Fedora 12 running under VirtualBox 3.2.8 w/ Bridged networking
Host OS Windows 7
I have 3 IP addresses set up in on my Fedora 12 installation:
Directory: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
ifcfg-eth0 -> 192.168.0.170
