Change language of Linux system in X without logout
This is only a curiosity but can be useful for other staff and not only for language.
I'm running Debian Squeeze with fluxbox. I have tried to change locale in fluxbox using: export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 and every terminal I open now is in dutch. This is ok but if I open other program (for example Gimp) in the same session still in English. So I put the command "export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" in a .bashrc file and I open a new X session. Everything was in Dutch. This means, for me, that X (or the terminal that has runned X) isn't aware that the LANG variable is changed. Is there a way to "talk with X or the terminal that ran X" and say him: hey, recheck the .bashrc file because something has been changed!? As explained before I want this for the current session and without logout Thanks Bre |
I'm not sure about the procedure of changing the locale in Debian, but you can source your .bashrc by issuing:
Code:
. ~/.bashrc |
