Or do you want all of KDE menus and apps to be in that language? If you want case 2 then you must install all the kde language translations and all the various fonts etc but instead of running kpersonaliser you could put in your startkdescript or in Autostart the command: kcmshell language which will then bring up only the region/language control module but you will need to do something to delete the command otherwise it will run everytime. But usually in environments such as yours it is OK to have KDE running in english but people need to be able to read and write (emails for instance) in another language. If that is the case then just make sure that you have all the relevant unicode fonts for the various languages ( a recent distro like Fedora3 will take care of that) and then just make sure in the kde controlcentre under Regional and Access / Keyboard layouts that you have layouts enabled and add all relevant ones. You will now have a little flag in the tray (next to the clock) that switches language layout each time you click it or right-click to choose from a list. I just tried it with english arabic thai japanese viet etc and it works fine as you will see below if you have the right fonts installed; ÐÑÐÐÑÐ ÐÑÐÐ ÑÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐ ÐÐÐÑÐÑ ÐÐ ààà àààà ààààààààààààààà ààààà ààààà ÙØØØÙ ÙÙÙØÙÙØ ØÙØØØØØ ØØØØØØÙ ØÙØØ ØØÙØØÙ ÙÙØØØØÙ ØØÙØØÙ even changed to right to left correctly. Hope this info is of some use. -- regards, andrew
