how to change GUI Language
I am also posting these suggestions in the developer's mailing list This is a post I made at the LaTex forum, fortunately for me the issue was addressed and solved by a kind user showing a picture of how the menu should look like in English, from there I was able to GUESSTIMATE which menu entries I should be manipulating, despite not completely understanding the language my GUI was in. I was also going to the mail archive, and the way I understandit is that LyX will detect the system language and adjust GUI accordingly, however in my case, the system language was in English, my IP address Korean, the only Japanese setting I had was in 'Language to display non-unicode characters' in. So, why did the installer decide on Japanese in the first place? here is a link to my post on the LaTex forum: http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19t=10613p=41052#p41052 = I think this is a very major issue, as it can affect first time users, and turn them off completely from the software if not addressed. This is my first time to try LyX. I installed the package, and while doing so was not given any option regarding the GUI language. After finally completing the installation, Voila! the GUI was in JAPANESE! -Problem 1) I am working in South Korea, I have language sets for my PC set to enable both Korean and Japanese, but why did the install package choose to be in Japanese? what would happen if I am Korean, for example, with absolutely no knowledge of Japanese? -Problem 2) I can speak, read, and write a LITTLE Japanese, but not that much. If anybody will give me instructions on how to change the GUI language I might have trouble looking for the relevant menu entry. If, for some reason or another the GUI language became Korean, for example, I would have absolutely no way of being able to look for the menu entry So I suggest the ff: Suggestion 1) Give the user the ability to CHOOSE preferred language on install REGARDLESS of IP address (or whatever method was used to choose GUI in my current situation)! Suggestion 2) Make the menu entry to change the GUI language EASY TO FIND and also IN A LANGUAGE DIFFERENT FROM THE CURRENT GUI, a lot of people would want to change the GUI because they do not have enough ability in the language in the first place. = Chris del Castillo, PhD Gyeongsang National University South Korea -- = 'Christian' Carmelo del Castillo, PhD Aquatic Biotechnology Center, Gyeongsang National University, Republic of Korea TEL: +82-55-751-6732 FAX: +82-55-762-6733 e-mail: chia...@msn.com
