Hi all, i was wondering what's the way to change the language on slackware. I've googled around but not working.

Thanks :)

Do you mean the keyboard language or system locale? For the latter, try editing /etc/profile.d/lang.sh

Hello scam,

I found this link very useful for language settings on slackware.

Thanks Ilgar,yasoo yes i wanted to know how to change the keyboard language, and is it possible to give one user say english and another german.

For per user settings

"man bash" gives us this section on invocation :-

Quote:

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

/etc/profile.d/lang.sh (System setting)
~/.bash_profile (User setting)

Do note that ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_login ~/.profile are searched for in order but only the first one that is found is actually executed.
