We have had a request from a potential user if they can use openSUSE in Russian. I see support, so I know there is something. I think the main area of use would be KDE on openSUSE 11.2.
Does anyone on this list use openSUSE 11.2 / KDE in Russian? Is the support usable?
KDE works very well with various language settings - I know people who use it in Slovak and English on the same and separate user accounts with no problems. The filesystem (ext3 and 4 at least) and dolphin etc have no problems with the character encodings (I receive files with Polish, Slovak and Russian filenames from various places, and have some in various Chinese encodings) but some commandline utilities *may* throw errors, especially 'quick hack' shell scripts. Also, exchanging these files with Windows is sometimes problematic - vfat formatted USB sticks being the major sticking point I've come across. The only complaint I've heard is that some (usually little used) menu and dialog options are untranslated and so default to English, and of course non KDE apps will have their own possible issues (Openoffice, for example.) -- “ ‘... but there is so much else behind what I say.
