Title: Modify system language ?
Post by: mikalof on December 13, 2011, 09:04:39 PM

Hello SME people!
In the process of installing SME 8 beta I set some system language and/or location prefs (can't remember where) to SWEDISH in order to make sure i get the right timezones etc. Therefore some console programs also seem to throw swedish output which I don't like. How do I get those apps back to speaking english? As an example the 'console' command is a completely swedish menu.
It is much easier to get help on the forums when not first needing to (inaccurately) translate what my server says...

Hi

I'm using SME8b7 and have this:

Code: [Select]

[root@guepardo ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n
LANG="en_US"
SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="iso15"

you should first of all check your setup with

Code: [Select]

config show sysconfig

the key of interest is Language

change it with (example)

Code: [Select]

config setprop sysconfig Language en_US

expand the template with

Code: [Select]

expand-template /etc/sysconfig/i18n

finally, reboot your server with

Code: [Select]

signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

NOTE: not tested, should work
