This time I installed Fedora LiveCD on my computer, it turned out that it did not bring full support for our language, for example, the GDM showed it to me in perfect English among other things, so I took on the task of looking for how to solve these small problems and here is the solution:
Change locale language
We open a terminal and log in as root:
su -
We type the following:
nano /etc/sysconfig/i18n
Note: In my case, nano was not installed by default either, to do so it would be enough with:
yum install nano
Note 1: You can use the text editor of your choice, this is only a suggestion for use;).
Once the file is opened we will find the following lines:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
SYSFONT="True"
The line that we are interested in changing is the first one, it would go from:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
this to this:
LANG="es_MX.UTF-8"
Of course, this is fine if you want to configure it to Mexican Spanish, in case it is not like that and you do not know what value you should pass to the configuration file, you can execute
locale -a
and find the corresponding value, remember that the first 2 letters before the "_" indicate the language and the next 2 letters indicate the country, for example: "Es_MX.UTF-8"
- es = Spanish
- MX = Mexico
Once the pertinent modifications have been made, we press Ctrl + O, we push ENTER and subsequently Ctrl + X to close the file. We only have to restart our computer for the changes to take effect;).
Installing spell checkers
To install the spell checkers we do the following:
yum install aspell aspell-es hunspell hunspell-es
Man Pages in Spanish
This is optional, but if you are one of those who seek information on certain commands using the Man Pages or Man Pages via terminal, for example: man yumThis will come in handy since you can display this info in Spanish.
Note: Most of the man pages are not fully translated yet :(, but usually, the information on the most used commands is: D.
yum install man-pages-es man-pages-es-extra
Ready!!! With this we have greater support of our language in our system;).
Interesting it looks like the way to set the language to archlinux when you are installing it.
good info.
Thanks.
I don't use a fedora except from my pendrive.
I add, if you don't mind, that it can also be done with a couple of clicks, if you are using Gnome-Shell:
Activities / Applications / System Settings / Region and Language and select Spanish.
Greetings.
In my case, I was able to put practically everything in Spanish the way you indicate, except for the GDM, which was still in English, the way I exposed was how I managed to put it in our language :).
Greetings and thanks for commenting bro;).
That's right, everything changes except the GDM
