Quick Start Guide
Procedure 11.1: Installing Additional Languages
When installing additional languages, YaST also allows you to set dierent locale
settings for the user root, see Step 4 (page 147). The option Locale Settings for
User root determines how the locale variables (LC_*) in the le /etc/sysconfig/
language are set for root. You can either set them to the same locale as for normal
users, keep it unaected by any language changes or only set the variable
RC_LC_CTYPE to the same values as for the normal users. This variable sets the lo-
calization for language-specic function calls.
1 To add additional languages in the YaST language module, select the Sec-
ondary Languages you wish to install.
2 To make a language the default language, set it as Primary Language.
3 Additionally, adapt the keyboard to the new primary language and adjust the
time zone, if appropriate.
TIP
For advanced keyboard or time zone settings, select Hardware > Keyboard
Layout or System > Date and Time in YaST to start the respective dialogs.
For more information, refer to Section 11.2, “Changing the Country and
Time Settings” (page 149).
