hola a todos, this is my experience in to domesticate lyx (qt version) for work with spanish in suse linux.
I think that part of this problem reside in the complex, very numerous and often duplicate collection of config files of linux in general. *** Accents and ñ no availables (dead keys) In accordance with advises I make countless modifications an every config file, and re-compilations of lyx. No work. When advises indicate that errors in qt lib to be guilty I re-install qt lib, re-compiled kernel, and I make sacrifices of lamb to the goddess. Nothing work. (but then, lamb roasted was very tasty) Then, I think that if keyboard work well in other soft packages perhaps qt lib is not responsible for dead keys. I download rpm of lyx pre-compiled for suse, install it, and dead keys work! (ñ work ok, I found accents and others in differents keys but is good for now) Perhaps qt lib is not guilty of dead keys. *** Hyphenation no work In log file of latex I can see that module of spanish hyphenation not was loaded for latex. In accordance with advices I edited /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat and then run iniTeX and several others actions along several weeks, none of this work. I found other file named language.dat in /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config when I edited this file, latex loaded spanish module but NOT execute hyphenation in spanish and even though I have \language spanish in my lyx file, in my output appears title - Inhaltsverzeichnis - (¿¡aghhhh!? ;-) instead of - Índice General -. Then, I replace in preamble usepackage[spanish, english, german]{babel} for usepackage[spanish]{babel} and hyphenation work well and german go home ;-) I had add english and german with hope of get spellcheck in this language but I had deleted it. *** Other problems remains: 1) When I invoke Find & Replace I can't to type accented characters or ñ equals to the used for lyx in the text. This characters look equals but are differents in code. 2) I defined double quoted and I can't to type this in Find & Replace. 3) When I include Chapter* in TOC with ERT: \addcontents ... a point appears in the left of the entry. This not occur in english. 4) I have an hybrid style. After itemizes, tables, fig, etc. next paragraph is not indented. After title of section the paragraph get indentation. I need modify a lot of paragraph for get coherence.
