+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I installed cauldron in virtualbox in English locale.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I try to switch to Greek (el) but even after reboot the enviroment is always in English
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; What i did:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I installed the locales-el package and after choosing the Greek localisation in MCC i have the follow folders:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; /usr/share/locale
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; el_CY/
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; el_CY.UTF-8/
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; el_GR/
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; el_GR.UTF-8/
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; these folders dont contain any translation file.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I remember in an older installation that in order to have mcc and terminal messages in Greek i had to choose the localization during the first installation, if not it remained in English. But it was a long time ago and i dont have in my mind more details..
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; It is an issue that worth to open a bug report ?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Please correct me if I'm wrong about it, as I cannot confirm it right now.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; When you install Mageia/Mandriva, all other locale translations,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; except the locales you specified during installation, will be removed.
+</I>&gt;<i> I was wrong, No locales are &quot;removed&quot; during the installation, they
+</I>&gt;<i> are just never installed.
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49612">https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49612</A>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; So if I install Mageia with Chinese locale, my system won't have
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; translations from other languages except Chinese.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Now if you want to add a new language after install, e.g. Greek,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; installing locales-el is not enough. You need the translations, but
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; only some of them are available as stand-alone packages, e.g.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; kde-l10n-el, firefox-el, libreoffice-langpack-el. For other softwares,
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; the translations will be installed when the packages updates are
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; available, or you have to re-install the packages which contains *.mo
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; files.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I remember there was a discussion in Mandriva i18n list about how to
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; improve language selection/localedrake behavior, e.g. download
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; localepacks which includes translations/mo files.
+</I>&gt;<i> It can be found here - Add an option to install missing locales for
+</I>&gt;<i> installed rpms:
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31639">https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=31639</A>

+Thanks, i understand better. I was nt sure because first i tried to switch to French and it worked. Of course the fr/ folder somehow existed with the translations.
+The pull of translations with locales-xx would be a comfort way to switch the environment language.
