Hi Devuaneers using the default display manager, slim.
You have the choice between three themes: default and
devuan-curve-darkpurpy.
Of course you might want to make your own theme from scratch. But
here I just explain how to just change the language. Slim doesn't take
care of the current locale, but it is easy to change because it only
says two things: "Username" and "Password". You can do it by creating a
new theme.
Suppose you want to re-use devuan-curve-darpurpy (not my choice
(-:) and make it speak another language, eg French.
# cd /usr/share/slim/themes
# mkdir devuan-curve-darpurpy-fr # I chose this name because the
trailing -fr tells it's just the french version of the theme.
# rsync -a devuan-curve-darpurpy/ devuan-curve-darpurpy-fr #
beware: don't forget the trailing slash
We now have a new theme which is identical to the original one but
we can modify it
# cd devuan-curve-darpurpy-fr
Open slim.theme with your favourite editor and change the fields
username_msg and password_msg to your convenience. Save the file.
We now have a brand new theme and just need to tell Slim to use it.
Open /etc/slim.conf with your favourite editor.
change the value of the field current_theme with the name of your
new theme, eg devuan-curve-darpurpy-fr
logout.
see your new slim screen now speaking your language (-:
Happy hacking.
Didier
