Japanese??

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



     My son came to visit. Of course I put a userid for him on 
the guest room computer (set to /sbin/nologin, like all the others 
but mine till he arrived; kept shutdown except for occasional 
updating, and with no access to the Net, wired nor wireless).

     Waste of effort: he's a permanent resident of Japan, and of 
course had to be able to do Japanese stuff, even for instance to 
cook, let alone telecommute. He brought his own laptop.

     So I'm wondering : what would I have had to do? Not 
uninstall Japanese from the never to be sufficiently accursed 
weeds, aka language packs, that sprout ever anew in Firefox. 
Obviously.

     If as I think gmail is basically a web app, does that do it 
all? (His main if not only email address is there.) Or are there 
other things? Would he need all of the OS to run in Japanese? (He 
did grow up in this country, and his English is still as good as 
anyone's.)

     I don't even know if this is a Fedora question, or a linux 
question, or something else. I know two or three words of spoken 
Japanese, and he doesn't run linux ...

	Can I even do anything without having to get a special keyboard? 
(The present guest room computer is a laptop -- a T30 Thinkpad -- btw.)
