Japanese Language Support?

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



Thank you for your suggestions.

However, although I know I can choose Japanese as a language in the boot 
screen, this makes the entire interface Japanese which is not the 
desired result. Even though I could work in a Japanese OS environment, I 
don't want to have to conform to the OS, I want the OS to conform to me.
Partly that's because I don't take orders from my computer. But also, my 
Japanese is good enough to handle everyday commands. But if something 
really weird and squiky happened with some kind of driver or RPM setting 
or something, I don't want to have to be learning UNIX commands and 
practicing Japanese at the same time.
Nor is always logging out and back in really a feasible option either, 
given the frequency with which I need to have both languages available.

CentOS/Red Hat/Linux gives the promise of being able to do so, or so it 
seems. So there's one of three choices:
1. I misunderstood the language settings potential, and perhaps someone 
could correct me.
2. My system is not configured correctly, and perhaps someone could help 
me correct the computer.
3. The feature has a significant bug which prevents it from operation, 
and so perhaps someone could help me in reaching CentOS or Red Hat to 
point out the bug.

Unfortunately, this is one of those "deal breaker" situations. If I 
can't get Japanese support, then CentOS will be a curiousity for me 
while I mainly work in Windows. But if I can get Japanese support, then 
I can start using CentOS as my main OS.

I hope there's someone who understands the language settings enough to 
keep CentOS alive for me.
