Change the language in Lubuntu ?
[Copy link]
|

I know the answer should be somewhere already but I really can't find it.
Can anyone tell me how to change the language in Lubuntu (V3) to German ? |

Thanks for your answer, but when I open the menu in the left there is preferences but any language setting.
Anyone else ideas? |

Same problem here: In "Preferences" no menu entry "Language Support" ...
Can some expert explain what program "should" start with "Language Support" ? Perhaps we can start the program manually by command line.
I have found a tutorial for enabling German language - see here:
http://www.itslot.de/2014/01/cub ... lubuntu-andern.html- sudo locale-gen de_DE.UTF-8
- sudo update-locale LANG=de_DE.utf8
- sudo update-locale LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8
Copy the Code But for this commands I need to be root (su -root).
And when I login again all still in English.
But if I login as "root" all is in German.
I have found the modified settings in /etc/default/locale:- # File generated by update-locale
- LANG=de_DE.utf8
- LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8
Copy the Code But why does this not work for the desktop user ?
After long search I found that user settings are stored in $HOME/.pam_environment. Haven't seen this file before - because it is "hidden". After enabling hidden files I copied the entry's from file /etc/default/locale into $HOME/.pam_environment. And now nearly all is in German language (e.g. "AbiWord", "Filemanager"). Only some programs are still in English (e.g. "Document Viewer"). But I can live with this. |

There is a easy way to set the language on debian .Just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales",and set your location. I think it is also working on Lubuntu. |

Just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales",charli Posted at 2014-7-16 10:31 
Works fine in Rasbian, too. |

Another way: install 'language support' via lubuntu software center, reboot, choose language support (where it should be), change to german (systemwide) and reboot. |
