I have installed Chromium browser and i cant find any language packs for it?
I tried to search for it with slackpkg search but it didnt find any language packs, i installed Chromium from alienbob repository and im running Slackware 14.1 x64 with KDE.

Does anyone know how to install the language pack for Chromium?

I don't think you need one. If LANG is set to some locale, the UI should appear in the same language.

Did you try?

Try:
LANG=es /usr/bin/chromium

browsers get the system locale to choose lang.

then better option is Put a global lang.

/etc/profile.d/lang.sh

and edit

LAN=

to put your desired lang.

if you have utf8 option thats better.

execute

locale

to get a list of available langs.


for example if want spanish system

LANG=es_ES.utf8


That need a reboot to take effect.

Running locale just shows en_US lang and while running locale -a shows all (?) lang.

In that file it says "export" before? Like this: "export LANG=en_US" ? Should i just remove "LANG=en_US" and replace it with my language?

I should add that KDE is using my lang but Chromium doesnt?

Yes. That's useful to know which locales are available.

Just runninggives you the current setting.

Yes. For instance I have now "export LANG=fr_FR.utf8. The word "export" saves the setting for whatever you do. If you remove it, every time you open a terminal you will have to type LANG=... again.

The locale setting in KDE is specific and only valid for KDE itself and the KDE applications. But it is unknown from Chromium. To tell Chromium what is your preferred locale you use the LANG variable: Chromium will honor its value displaying the UI in the same language.

[QUOTE=Didier Spaier;5511611][QUOTE=moonraven;5511605]Running locale just shows en_US lang and while running locale -a shows all (?) lang.It worked, thanks. Now Chromium is in my language.

Not quite true: Chrome works this way, but Firefox still uses localisation strings that are maintained outside the Firefox source tree and must either be present at build-time (in which case Firefox will be built with support for that locale and only that locale), or installed as a language pack (in which case you'll be able to switch between that locale and en-US at run-time using an about:config setting).

If you want to go down the former route, export an appropriate value for $MOZLOCALIZE to mozilla-firefox.SlackBuild (which may or may not work, depending on how alert the mozilla-l10n maintainer is for your locale: this is because Mozilla changes its build system every five minutes, and the SlackBuild still uses an older method that doesn't automatically handle missing locale strings; eventually I'll get around to sending Pat a patch that fixes this). If you want to go down the latter route (protip: you absolutely want to go down the latter route), just download and install a language pack.
