<PRE>2012/4/9 You-Cheng Hsieh <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">yochenhsieh at gmail.com</A>>:
><i> 2012/4/9 Dimitrios Glentadakis <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">dglent at gmail.com</A>>:
</I>>><i> I installed cauldron in virtualbox in English locale.
</I>>><i> I try to switch to Greek (el) but even after reboot the enviroment is always in English
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> What i did:
</I>>><i> I installed the locales-el package and after choosing the Greek localisation in MCC i have the follow folders:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> /usr/share/locale
</I>>><i> el_CY/
</I>>><i> el_CY.UTF-8/
</I>>><i> el_GR/
</I>>><i> el_GR.UTF-8/
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> these folders dont contain any translation file.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> 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>>><i>
</I>>><i> It is an issue that worth to open a bug report ?
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Please correct me if I'm wrong about it, as I cannot confirm it right now.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> When you install Mageia/Mandriva, all other locale translations,
</I>><i> except the locales you specified during installation, will be removed.
</I>I was wrong, No locales are "removed" during the installation, they
are just never installed.
<A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49612">https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=49612</A>
><i> So if I install Mageia with Chinese locale, my system won't have
</I>><i> translations from other languages except Chinese.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Now if you want to add a new language after install, e.g. Greek,
</I>><i> installing locales-el is not enough. You need the translations, but
</I>><i> only some of them are available as stand-alone packages, e.g.
</I>><i> kde-l10n-el, firefox-el, libreoffice-langpack-el. For other softwares,
</I>><i> the translations will be installed when the packages updates are
</I>><i> available, or you have to re-install the packages which contains *.mo
</I>><i> files.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I remember there was a discussion in Mandriva i18n list about how to
</I>><i> improve language selection/localedrake behavior, e.g. download
</I>><i> localepacks which includes translations/mo files.
</I>It can be found here - Add an option to install missing locales for
installed rpms:
