It doens't work either. only works with 'firefox -UILocale pt_PT.UTF-8' > > without the && - provided the commandline is "firefox". > > > My system has english as main language (en_US.UTF-8), but to see a program > in Spanish I use: > > > LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=espanol program That is unusable for me...

I partially solved the problem by adding: export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to $HOME/.profile and by adding: test "`whoami`" == "rsantos" && export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 at the end of '/etc/profile.d/lang.sh' And keeping LANG="pt_PT.UTF-8" on YaST->Sysconfig Editor, all other users get Portuguese only. With this approach, almost all applications are loaded with English language: Thunderbird, Firefox, OpenOffice, etc... The only exception I found so far is YaST... But I can live with that... Anyway, thanks for your help Carlos... It lead me on the right direction One thing I cannot comprehend is: Is this the only way to set up o multi language system with KDE ( don't know abou gnome )? I'm sure there should be an easier way... Rui Santos > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
