While installing Ubuntu 10.10 I chose the wrong language for my keyboard. I tried to fix this in keyboard preferences and it seemed to work. The correct one I need is USA (and don't know exactly the difference between USA and USA alternative international). But every time I boot my laptop I get the old language back (Dutch) while USA is above the others in my preferences.

(i am french and wanted a light netbook with french keyboard)i am totally new to linux and i believe that msi wind is not helping.because i am more used to english for settings, i set the main language to english, but it seems that it automatically reconfigures my keyboard mapping to english as well, so that azerty becomes qwerty.i reset it back to french, so now my keyboard is french, but so is the system.is there a way to differentiate keyboard from main user setting language?

Currently I am on a Brazilian abnt keyboard and an English system (which is what I want), but I am unable to output accented characters - which I sometimes want, when I am not programming.

I am on 10.04 with a gnome desktop.
I'm doing thesis about Open source CMS -programs and I'm using Ubuntu server 10.04.1 for that.
I have used same server edition at school but I have now big problem with changing the keyboard language. Because VMware used the easy install I couldn't change the language during the installation. I have used command sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but I can't select the right language there.
So is there any other way to change the keyboard language to Finnish?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some music in another language, but when I open the songs in Banshee, their song names just come up as weird characters (like μ).I went to [System --> Administration --> Language Support] and installed support for that language, but the songs still come up like μ. (But in Nautilus, their proper names show).
I know the solution is to change my whole system language to that language, but I don't want to do that, as I am not very fluent in it. Is there any way to enable support for that language while keeping English as the language used to display my desktop?
One computer .... three users .... three languages. How do you make that happen? User A speaks English and is happy with English. No problem. User B needs to use Chinese and would like the full system in Chinese. User C needs to use Thai and Chinese. They would prefer their menus to be in Thai and can use iBus for Chinese entry. How do you set up the system so that each user can select their system language when they login?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAs a bilingual user, I have a lot of things that someone like that has to have like a lot of UNIcode fonts of the languages I use and keyboard layouts.My question is really simple (though the answer may not ):Is it possible to specify a specific font for a specific language?For example:
I have about four different looking Singhalese fonts on my system:
1. LKLUG
2. Bashitha
3. Malithi
4. another one... (awkward)
right now my system uses LKLUG, but I'd like to use Bashitha since it's more easy to read. How do I do this? Things like setting the system wide font in SystemSettings or other ways is not what I'm looking for though... my System font is DejaVu Sans, and I want the System to use Bashitha ONLY for the Singhalese text and DejaVu Sans for the rest..I tried modifying the ~/.fonts.conf file..
i am trying to use greek as well, besides english, but my keyboard doesn't want to. i have visited the directory /usr/share/x11/xkb/symbols, where i can see that there is a file called gr, which most likely is for greek, but i don't know what to do with it.

Ever since then I have been unable to log in as the keyboard is typing in Amharic and the original password was created in US English. I also tried << Ctrl+Alt+F1 >> and typed in the login name and password, even Root and the password but no luck.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed open suse 11.2 yesterday stock Education edition DVD.
I changed the keyboard because it was generating garbage instead of english chars. (everything was stock from the CD)
The replacement kb is a newer one (I favor the old kb's).
eventually the language and layout of the keyboard changes - usually to Arabic or some Eastern alphabet.
I was really starting to like open suse, but if this persists it is unusable.
Something is misbehaving - any Ideas would be appreciated.
I'm running the default desktop env - gnome.
I have installed LXDE recently and I'm very happy with it,but there's one problem,which is that i can't switch the keyboard layout to another language,which in my case is Arabic,how do i solve this problem?

I'm trying to change language of the entire Ubuntu interface to German. However, when I select to install German in the Language Support section, I get the following message:
Package Already Installed: There is no need for an installation.
Package gnome-user-guide-en is already installed
Now this makes me think that it's already installed, but I still can't select the language that I want. I've tried removing and installing again the Language Support but nothing seems to help!
I installed Edubuntu Karmic in a friends computer, his daughter is learning to use a computer and she uses Gcompris a lot, but lately she's taking some spanish classes at school and she needs to learn the numbers and abc in spanish. There's anyway I can change the language in Gcompris to spanish?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had to install the Edubuntu 7.04 on a PC. it is a government property and the owner of the PC claims that it used to be in Macedonian language. I wonder now how can I change the language of the whole OS, I know the support of this OS is already gone off. So there is one other option left, I have to install the whole OS from the beginning, but the real question is that will I be asked to choose the OS language at the Installation Setup. I am using CD for installing not the DVD so I wonder if it contains the language interface packs at all?

I've disabled the traditional gdm gui login screen by adding the keyword 'text' to the kernel line so that it boots to a command line. I then start gnome by using startx and I've noticed that I can log out of gnome back into the command line, then change the environment LANG variable to the new desired language, run startx again and everything is in the new desired language.
I need a programmable way to only restart gnome(not a reboot) so that I can make a script that a user can just click on and it will set the LANG variable then restart gnome(preferably preserving all open applications, but if not, doesn't matter).
I did the upgrade to 10.04 and now all my menus are in Japanese (wifes logon is in japanese but mine was english before). Was language support broken in 10.04? As far as I can tell my language is still set to English, even at the login screen. But everything is still Japanese.

I have a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 installed in spanish and I found out when I tried to create a new user in English that just part of it is in English. For example, the name of most of the applications are still in Spanish, and all the OS notification are also in Spanish, as most of the programs. I've tried to turn to some other language and exactly the same things are translated.
