I don't know if it's still the case, but it used to be quite a difficult task to do that afterwards. It was better to install with all the languages that you thought you might need selected. You might want to study the anaconda script for the install disc, and see what it does when you choose your own languages. At the logon screen, you can change languages. But that's a nuisance to do for multiple users. You can yum install system-config-language to set the default language for the system, then let individual users change away from your default, if they need to. But that's just part of your issue. How can i do that : 1) I want to have same packages like if i have choosed Czech Language during install From what I've seen, some multi-language supporting programs often install with all the languages, in the first place. That's why some of the packages are so big (e.g. Firefox). Others do have separate packages for different languages (e.g. KDE, OpenOffice). You could fetch a list and filter it for your language/country names in the packages. Or just manually install a few extra packages. Have a look at a Fedora mirror, and trawl through the everything collection of packages. If you're going to yum install openoffice.org-langpack-cs_CZ (for example), yum will install any updated packages, if there are any, automatically. At a quick glance, I can see three obvious packages: kde-i18n-Czech kde-l10n-Czech openoffice.org-langpack-cs_CZ You could also try a yum search against the same terms: yum search \*czech\* yum search \*cs_cz\* 2) also i have problem with Firefox and setting fonts for Czech - cs_CZ language . No one from list of font groups - even central european does not change fonts on Czech sites. Be sure to pick the languages that you can read in the web browser configuration, and list them in order of preference. Any website that uses content negotiation will go by what your browser says you can read. You'll still strike problems with badly authored websites (both in offering you other languages, and displaying mangled texts). There's no good solution for sorting out messed up websites. You might want to install all, or more of, the foreign fonts, too. I've done that in the past. Although I can't read most of them, it's better to see webpages in their proper characters, rather than as a pile of codes. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.

I'm not the devil in disguise as some would like to make me out to be. system-config-language is the way to go, and you can then pick your language from the GDM screen. It does not install the language packs for Open Office, KDE or some of the other bits however, so that becomes a manual step as far as I can see. I've flipped my system over in to swedish just to test this, and all of Gnome plays ball anyway. :) /Anders -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
