Please choose a language to use
Select your preferred language, by first expanding the list for your
continent. Mageia will use this selection during
the installation and for your installed system.
If it is likely that you will require several languages installed on
your system, for yourself or other users, then you should use the
Multiple languages button to add them now. It will be
difficult to add extra language support after installation.
Even if you choose more than one language, you must first choose one
of them as your preferred language in the first language screen. It will
also be marked as chosen in the multiple languages screen .
If your keyboard language is not the same as your preferred
language, then it is advisable to install the language of your keyboard
as well.
Mageia uses UTF-8 (Unicode) support by default. This may be
disabled in the "multiple languages" screen if you know that it is
inappropriate for your language. Disabling UTF-8 applies to all
installed languages.
You can change the language of your system after installation in
the Mageia Control Center -> System -> Manage localization for
your system.
