Adding laguage to kde 4.1

Sat Dec 27, 2008 11:03 pm
Hello

I would like to add some languages to version 4.1

I run an english system but I would need to be able to display Chinese, Korean, Japanese and French characters.

Dictionary install would be a good bonus to..

Thanks

Goto KMenu -> System Settings -> Reginal and Language -> Install New language. First it may install the language support and then it would show you a list of available languages you can add to it. After installing, you can select the language and click "Select System Language" to make it default.

Hello

I could not be doing this right... but these are the options I get.
System Settings -> Reginal and Language -> Add language.

I just have a choice of English and English.

This is the reason of my question

Um, please read my previous post again :)

You have to install a language before you have it there. For that, you have to first click on Install New Language button.

Yes, I just saw your screenshot.
That is so strange. What is your distro?[hr]
Install these packages:
kde-l10n-zhtw, kde-l10n-ko, kde-l10n-ja and kde-l10n-fr packages, restart systemsettings and then check in the "Add language" menu.

Try installing the language packages and see if they appear.
Otherwise, run systemsettings as root from konsole and see if it works.

@LinuxIsInnovation.
The "install new languages" button is a Kubuntu-specific feature. It launches Kubuntu's language-pack installation tool.

Maybe you don't have mandriva repos added. I have never worked with urpmi (always on debian based distros)
Try adding/enabling official repos and search for the packages again.
