Go to / locale (following the sequence above in TCC). Add whatever languages you want to have available, then you should be able to switch languages by right-clicking on the country flag in your taskbar at bottom. However, I did just try this, and no countries or languages were available except US English ... but I think this is perhaps I have disabled other choices in localepurge. I used to enable Greek, for example, because I was setting some text for a translation; but this was back in the old KDE3. I don't know if there is a way to do this by command-line, but, yes, that would be very useful. In the meanwhile, if all you want is to make it useful for yourself, then I think that you will find your solution in these places. P.P.S. WHOOPS!

Just trying either to narrow down the problem, or to connect the dots (if they do connect) to that earlier thread.
