|||
*: ''Please check if the translation hasn't been filed [http://dev.laptop.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=localization&order=priority querying Trac] first'' |

For language codes, refer to [[ISO 639]]. |
|||
== Keyboard in your language == |
|||
What good is seeing the interface in a particular language if your keyboard is in another? Here's how you get your keyboard in your language. (extracted from [[Customizing NAND images]]). |
|||
{{ Box File | /etc/X11/xorg.conf |Section "InputDevice" |
|||
: Identifier "Keyboard1" |
|||
: ... |
|||
: Option "XkbLayout" "'''en'''" |
|||
: Option "XkbOptions" "olpc" |
|||
EndSection}} |
|||
You should modify the <tt>"XkbLayout" "'''en'''"</tt> to whatever layout you want (ie: <tt>es, pt, ...</tt>). In order to enable the language switch ([[Image:Key arabic.jpg]] or [[Image:Key thai.jpg]]) you should set <tt>"XkbLayout" "'''en,ara'''"</tt> or other combinations (ie: <tt>"en,th"; "en,ur"; etc.</tt>) and <tt>Option "XkbOptions" "olpc"</tt> to <tt>"olpc,olpc2"</tt> |
|||
{{ Box File | /etc/X11/xorg.conf |Section "InputDevice" |
|||
: Identifier "Keyboard1" |
|||
: ... |
|||
: Option "XkbLayout" "'''en,th'''" |
|||
: Option "XkbOptions" "olpc,olpc2" |
|||
EndSection}} |
|||
After saving the changes, and in order to enable them, you must either reboot the machine, or issue the following commands: |
|||
/sbin/telinit 3 |
|||
/sbin/telinit 5 |
