setting language
by Cyclepiet on Sat May 31, 2008 2:19 pm
During start-up of the live-CD of AntiX, I set the language to Dutch. After installing the language is English. Amongst others, I looked in settings and Admin/Tools, but could not find were setting to Dutch?

Try opening a terminal and as root:
follow the prompts to select you language.
- Code: Select all
dpkg-reconfigure locales
follow the prompts to select you language.

Dear eriefisher,
I am a starter with antiX and know nothing about it. I had to say, installing (on my IBM ThinkPad 1GHz, with 128MB ram and 30GB HD) was easy and even my wireless card (Asus WL100G) worked direcly.
I did as you said before and i.s.o. one (NL), it looked, if a lot of languages became installed. After restarting the comp. the language was not changed. So I think I did something wrong, or I had to do more?

Welcome to antiX, Cyclepiet.
I think the choose language option may be a bit misleading. It comes with the Mepis installer and I think it will automatically set kde for you language. As antiX uses fluxbox and icewm, it cannot set the language settings.
You can set your keyboard to use NL and type docs etc in Abiword etc, by doing the following.
Menu->Settings->Config-User
Select Edit Fluxbox Menu
Scroll down to line 454 (Keyboard) and add this line in the section.
[exec] (Dutch) {setxkbmap nl}
Save file and now you should be able to use Dutch in docs.
(You may need/wish to install msttcorefonts to get NL to show up correctly)

Dear Anticapitalista,
My keyboard settings are o.k., but what I want is the Dutch language as standard for the system and program's (if possible).

Hi, folks!
I just installed antiX to check it out cuz I read and hear great things about it. I have a keyboard layout problem. The language is Croatian. During the install I put hr_UTF-8 and locales croat, but it doesn' have effect. I tried "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and after that I changed the locales and keyboard in "system configure", but after reboot it's not there (croatian), but it says "no change". In the antiX wiki there is a way through settings>fluxbox>file editing, but there is no that choice. Anyways, I installed KDE and changed it with no probs. antiX is working just great, but I wanted to use fluxbox and try it out, not KDE. Any help would be appreciated, thanx!

Welcome to antiX, Studeni.
One way is to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (as root)
http://kost.com.hr/blog/index.php?title ... &tb=1&pb=1
Should help
