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
