Switching Between Languages

bauer172uw · 05-17-2005, 04:34 PM

My girlfriend is taking a Korean language class in which she is occationally required to type in Korean. Is there a way (if so, how?) to switch to a different mode to type in this other language within Linux (other than reinstalling my OS and choosing the other language)? I guess this could be an OS question (for a global change) or a software specific change (such as only within OpenOffice). Either will do. Thank you for any help on this.

I thik switching the X keyboard layout should do?, but look at the the multilange inputs for X?

If it's JUST the keyboard map you want to change then using setxkbmap should work. I think both gnome and kde support using key combinations (like SHIFT + ALT) to switch between languages and locales.
