We are working to officially support this but here is a solution that I know works for Chinese and hopefully will work for the other ones you mentioned. It requires making the image r/w and is not supported in any way. This will also make your image non-updateable, so you'll have to reflash to get newer images. Additionally there are many non-translated items still, but if you want to try it, here is what you can do:
1) Modify /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale to change the locale. In /etc/environment, change LANG and LANGUAGE. You can use sed if you want like this (example for Chinese): "sed -e s/en_US/zh_CN/ -i.orig /etc/default/locale && sed -e s/en_US/zh_CN/ -i.orig /etc/environment" 2) Run locale-gen <locale> <locale.UTF8> for example, "locale-gen zh_CN zh_CN.UTF-8" 3) Reboot the device If you have issues with some bad characters then you've run into the font fallback bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/sevilerow/+bug/1189352>. You can work-around it by doing the following: 1) rm -f /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-droid-sans-fonts.conf 2) fc-cache -f -v -s 3) Reboot On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 5:41 AM, Michal Suchanek <[email protected]> wrote: > probably language-pack-* should depend on a font required for rendering > the locale in question. > > Actually it seems they do but maybe it would be good idea to double-check. > > Thanks > > Michal > > > On 3 October 2013 12:58, Joey Chan <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I don't think this bug is from locale, environment, setting, conf, etc.. >> I just add some *.ttf files to make the language support available >> >> >> 2013/10/3 Penk Chen <[email protected]> >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> FYI, I've created one (seemly related) bug here: >>> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1189352 >>> >>> Best, >>> penk >>> >>> >>> >>> On Thu, Oct 3, 2013 at 6:48 PM, Joey Chan <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>>> Hi Ladies and Gentlemen, >>>> >>>> For those who are living in east-Asian countries(China, Korea, Japan), >>>> pls have a test about your native language support in Ubuntu-Touch, e.g. >>>> use webbrowser to see a native website. >>>> >>>> 1.
