Ubuntu :: Install Multiple System Languages?
Oct 16, 2010
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?

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?

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.

When I install I never select language support other than English, yet the system gets loaded with a bunch of fonts and input methods for various Eastern languages and I spend time taking them out.Why are they getting installed at all?

I can't find the place to set the system to keep multiple kernels. For the first time in a long time, updates are giving me grief. I've kept the last working nvidia driver in case I need it.
Now I would like to keep one old kernel when I update to the new one. I had a lab rat that never got rid of old kernels and that was too much. It is possible to keep the last working kernel when you update, isn't it?

I am unable to Install Fedora10 in my system as one of the multiple operating systems and it gets hanged after probing for Hardware devices and so ...I get fedora trademark sought of symbol and even after waiting any amount of time it doesnt go further..neither the keyboard works nor the mouse pointer moves... I am stuck at this screen shown in the installation screenshot...I get this screen however I dont get the options back or next or its that I am unable to see this options on the screen at all and mouse gets hanged and even keyboard doesnt work...
[code]....
Initially after booting with the media it doesnt even prompt me to press any key to boot from CD or Dvd or I get any screen to select the option for the mode of installation like text based installation or graphical installation..it hardly shows me this screen for even a fraction of second as well...
It takes me to the screen
1) Install or upgrade fedora
2) rescue existing installation...
3)
4) Memory test
when I click on install fedora I am taken to the fedora splash screen and nothing goes ahead... I tried in rescue mode as well... In rescue mode it asks me for language selection...keyboard layout... later it doesnt go ahead as well... I have checked the installation media and it confirmed that the installation media is good... I use Redhat 4.1 version and It works fine except for the message drivers/usb/hid.c core message received at :75 while trying to restart shutdown or access a virtual console... Along with Redhat and while trying to install fedora I have windows server 2008,Windows vista on that harddisk...

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).?

I triple boot with XP on the first partition, sidux on the second and third and Ubuntu on the fourth. sidux controls grub2. When I boot into XP or Ubuntu, my clock gets set ahead 4 hours to UTC time (I'm on Eastern daylight time).
Is there a way for all three OSs to display the right time?

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.

On Ubuntu 10.04 when there are more than just one user logged in, if one of users logs off system hangs with a black screen.
After I reboot the machine and log in again, just after GDM login screen I get a window with a message about PowerMeter crash, with suggestion to 'cancel' and 'log off'. Only 'Log off' works, i.e. I'm successfully logged in.
Last entries from system.log before system freeze are:

My system already has Winxp, Vista and Ubuntu. I'd like to try F11 on my system with about 50 GB free space. How do I set up the installer so that it will install F11, configure the boot loader to recognize all (multiple Oss) so I can load any one of them? I know Fedora has no problem to boot winxp and Vista, but how to set things up so it can also boot other Linux OS on the same system?

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 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.
