RHEL 4

Firebar · 05-04-2006, 08:00 AM

I've had a brief look around on the web I cannot for the life of me find any explanation on how to install additional languages.
Language packs are not part/included in system-config-packages.

Does anyone know how to install additional languages AFTER an install. I didn't select Chinese for a colleague when I installed the machine, but now they require it.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks

p.s; I'm running RedHat Workstation 4 update 3.

mount your install-cd

cd RPMS
rpm -ivh `ls |grep zh_CN`

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I've already done this and the only RPM called ttfonts-zh_CN-2.14-6 was already installed.
Looking at the RH site it says;

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/e...-notes/ws-x86/

Specifically looking at IIIMF. Unfortunately this doesn't work.
If I run system-config-languages I can't select to install another language.

I'm stumped, I've never messed around with this before.

Setting his ~/.bashrc file with the following should help. Basically you want, LanguageCode_CountryCode.Encoding. If GB2312 is incorrect change it to the correct encoding.

export LANG=zh_CN.GB2312
export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GB2312

Read man setlocale for more information.

Unfortunately that didn't work either. I'm totally stumped

Any other suggestions please?
