Had Ubuntu desktop 7.10, english language only. Then I installed all packages
in Synaptic that matched "swahili", since this laptop is intended for a project
in Tanzania. Got the spell checker in OpenOffice.org (still english menus) to
check some swahili (the few words I know), but it is not possible to select the
swahili language at login. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales still only generates
variants of english.
In the meantime the system has been upgraded to 8.04, but it did not help on
this problem.
Got a hint, that I should edit /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local , but
"sw_TZ.UTF-8 UTF-8" and similar guesses don't work.
I assume UTF-8 should be used, since I want users to see the same files
independent of their language preference. And, as far as I know, swahili uses
the same alphabet as english.
Later i unintstalled all swahili packages (except OpenOffice) via
Synaptic, then reselected swahili in "Language Support". I also selected
danish, just to see if it worked.
Danish works fine, but swahili does not appear in the login->Options
menu. So, I assume the swahili package is broken/incomplete.
