If you set a language by default in gdm. It will update ~/.dmrc. However it is not recommend to directly modify that file.

By default, ~/.i18n does not exist because by default user follows system wide language settings. You can create a user based settings if you wanted by: # cat > ~/.i18n LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 [ctrl-D] Hope it helps, Leon > > What's going here?
