Hi Leon!
I'm attaching a patch against the current version of the kde-workspace
package in Debian and Ubuntu which adds a language selector to kdm. This
allows you to select the language for the session at login time and with
the hvelp of a few lines in your Xsession file, you are getting the
proper environment variables set for your preferred language.
With the patch applied, kdm will set the environment variable KDM_LANG
according to the selection you made in the popup menu on the greeter
screen. Just add the following lines to /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession to use
the value of KDM_LANG to set the environment variables for LANG,
LANGUAGE and LC_ALL:
if [ -n "$KDM_LANG" ] ; then
LANGUAGE="$KDM_LANG"
LANG="$KDM_LANG"
LC_ALL="$KDM_LANG"
export LANGUAGE
export LANG
export LC_ALL
fi
Please note that the list of languages available in the selector is
currently hard-coded in kdm/kfrontend/kgreeter.cpp.
For more details, see my detailed explanation in the corresponding bug
report in Debian [1].
