I am trying to get KDE2 to work with Japanese langugae support. My girlfriend is Japanese and I have set her up with her own desktop on my machine (SuSE 7). However, when I set the personal preference to Japanese I just get ??? on all of the icons. I have loaded Japanese and Chinese character support using YAST but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? Paul
I'll ask our internationalisation expert ... On Mon, 18 Dec 2000, ptaylor wrote:

hi all by a quirk of fate i managed to get Japanese Gnome from Red Hat 7.0 working by accident (well someone had burnt the Japanese iso's for me) i assume KDE2 would have worked as well. I had trouble getting if off, if you want the iso' let me know and i can put in the post Malcolm ------------------------------- Dr Malcolm Herbert Head of Technology R&D, Becta 02476 847126 Mob: 07801 612438 -------------------------------

So - it wasn't your last post after all, Malcolm. I knew it wouldn't be. And of course you're welcome to keep posting and reading wherever you work :) BTW if several answers from me showed up that's because something very strange happened ... sorry. On Mon, 18 Dec 2000, Malcolm Herbert wrote:

Change the girlfriend? ;-) -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School
Our internationalisation person writes: I'm uncertain of how to use Japanese with KDE2. I find suggestions on the web that this may not be possible with the stock release, but I know not whether this is true or not. (much of the pertinent info is in Japanese, which is not helpful for me) Possibly <http://www.linux.or.jp/> might contain instructions. On Mon, 18 Dec 2000, ptaylor wrote:
