</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> >> /usr/share/locale

</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 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..

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.
