Hello,

I installed 12.1 Gnome LiveCD.

During installation I choose Greek language and keyboard. It finished and I see menu in English and only few in Greek.

I tried to change the language using YaST but it said something like: Some menus are in English and you won't have all in Greek.

Only DVD installation has all languages I guess.

Well, I did something and I fixed it but not sure if it was the correct thing to do. I wrote

zypper dup

I upgrade my 12.1 system to 12.1 ;-)

After restart, all menus were in Greek.

Is there something wrong with the localization YaST module? Have a lot of run!!! Stathis

Something went wrong.. oO My text disappeared. @ Stathis: Thanks for reporting. In the KDE Live CD is a similar problem which I could only resolve by running "zypper dup" as well. Perhaps that's a general problem with the Live CDs?

The "live cd"s do not have enough space for *many* different languages. Duscussion exists about dropping the cd's for larger iso's for install on flash memory drives that contain *more* language files.

These iso's will not ever contain *all* the possible languages.

... and even the "english" is sometimes somewhat disconcerting :^) That's true but why is it only possible to install the right language packages running "zypper dup"? Perhaps the Live CDs should run this command on first boot or there should be something fixed that the required packages for the language will be installed as regular updates.

I mean, they weren't even provided by running "zypper up". And set English and back again didn't work either, so what do you want an unexperienced user to do to fix this? Do they really have to work with half Englisch / half native language systems? Then it's probably better to drop the Live CDs at all. I know a lot of people who can't speak English and they probably will never be able to do.

The 12.1 installation I did, I tried to change language using YaST but I failed. When I open system settings, I go to Localization, it shows that I have installed British English, US English, Chinese (?) and Greek. Greek is default. When I try to delete British and Chinese, I cannot. There's not a button to unlock as admin to do it. I asked KDE friends about the language and they told me that they had the same problem and solved it using zypper dup. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
