Ubuntu :: Get Languages To Run + Everything Including Settings,printerdriver Into Isoimage?
Oct 21, 2010
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 just installed openSUSE 11.3 (Gnome). I am using Korean language, but I don't want to make Korean language as my default language. So I installed Korean lang as secondary language. It works well.But the problem is Korean font. Actually BEFORE installing the language, the font look much nicer. But as soon as I installed the language, the font became ugly.Even if I uninstal the language, the font still remains the same (ugly). Where is the font setting for other languages stored? It would be nice if I can set default fonts for Korean language manually.
How do u add languages in 10.04? I went to System -> Pref -> Keyboard and added Korean and nothing happened for me found a few instructions but were way too dated
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'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?
I work with several languages, but most often with two. When switch with hotkey i have to pass throug other langeages. How to make a hotkey to switch only between the two langiages or set a hotkey to switch to a certain language.
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.
have a previous background in internet programming languages such as XHTML, DHTML, CSS and javacsript. I would like to start programming and managing my linux system (like an expert) and starting on linux projects also. My question is which is the best programming language to learn: C, C++ (may b even C+), python, Perl etc... I'm learning BASH right now cause I know its a necessity for linux systems. but what would you guys suggest after that I learn.
my main language is Spanish, i wish to get the Orthographic correction in that language, but is only installed the English one, any one knows how to install another language dictionary on empathy? i've search all around the web, but i cant get that tip.
In Ubuntu 10.10 how to add the languages other than English . Only English and Chineese are available now. I would like to add my mothertongue Malayalam on it. Malayalam is available on languages.
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?
let's say I've got one .avi video with a film with its original audio language (e.g. english) and another one .avi video with the same film but with a second audio language (e.g. re-dubbed in italian). Is it possible to get only one .avi video with the film and the two audio languages selectable?
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 am using livecd-creator with the fedora-livecd-desktop.ks file to create livecd/usb images. The image that is created includes several languages (some are listed below). How can I only include one or two specific languages? Will I have to specify to remove each language group? If so, what is the syntax for yum?
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 am going to school for Network Engineering and hope to one day be a systems administrator or something similar. I was wondering what some good scripting languages would be to learn. I know the obvious, Python, Perl, Shell Scripting and PHP, but what else?
I compiled my own XPDF (as it was not in the repo) but now I need to add some japanese language support..I already did yum groupinstall "Japanese support" But what japanese fonts are installed and where are they located?I need it for.. this line #displayCIDFontTTAdobe-Japan1/usr/..../kochi-mincho.ttf
I installed Fedora 12. I noticed that every possible language support is included in Firefox. What is the reason for this? Will Fedora and Firefox still work if I remove these languages?
i would like to be able to display/type all the characters/letters in my browser, character map and any other place you could think of. right now most of the languages in my character map are displayed as hex codes.
I am just starting to learn Linux and am interested in a career in Linux. Actually I wanna go for RHCE, which is the first step for Sys Admin..right?? Basically I do NOT want to go into programming/developing as I don't feel it's my cup of tea (and also may be it sort of boggles me). Still, from what I gather I am having confusions regarding whether I should learn any programming language for a career in Linux.
Here I am avoiding programming..and now I get to hear that Linux career uses programming..That's sort of frustrating...My friend told me I need to "master" C. Do I need to learn some programming language?? If yes, then to how much extent?
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 have recently graduated from uni and during my time there I have developed an interest in HDL, specifically Verilog. As my current job doesn't lend itself to doing anything in verilog so I decided to keep myself sharp by designing a 32 bit processor that is similar to (but not the same as) the MIPS processor it will certainly be RISC. While starting work on it I have decided to start a blog detailing what I have done including the source file as I am entering my work into the wide world I think it needs a licence but I am not looking to make any money or even to derive any fame from what I'm doing. Like I said the main reason to do it is to keep me active in using HDLs.
I hope to gain from the blog suggestions for alternative(better) ways to do what I am doing, for people to use what I have done as an example of a medium sized project in verilog and to force me to have some form of documentation on my project. That's enough self publication to the question. Is the GPL (either version 2 or 3) applicable to work in HDL as it is not a traditional programming language but shares many of the same features? It certainly does not feel like I should use a CC license. I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this question but it seems most applicable.
i'm wondering which scripting language is better for distro related activity such as cron jobs , startup scripts and similar things.why is bash mostly used ? is it because of efficiency ?what about perl , python or php as potential successors to bash ?
My Debian installation was originally only in Croatian, and I was fine with that until now. Being irritated by some javascripts (especially those that won't let me close a tab in Iceweasel) I installed noscript. However, I could not configure it (the configuration was "translated" in Croatian rendering it useless). So I did# dpkg-reconfigure localesand added English (en_US) besides Croatian (hr_HR)....
I was wondering about a package that can be used to write and compile/run programs in different programming languages. I was also wondering how possible it is to program in Visual Basic 2010 in openSUSE if at all.
I'm often switching between the following three languages to check spelling in evolution, firefox and gnote:
English / United States Dutch / Netherlands Croatian / Croatia
The problem is that the language list is huge, what makes switching between the languages difficult. There are more than 20 types of English spelling and 3 Duch spellings (see the screen-shot).
I would like to configure this language list, so that only the relevant languages are displayed.
