I don't know if it goes back earlier, but I see your name again. Just trying
either to narrow down the problem, or to connect the dots (if they do
connect) to that earlier thread.

Hello William,
thanks for your reply.

If I understand what you want, then you are on the right track with TCC /
Regional & Accessibility / Country/Region & language, but maybe you didn't
pursue it far enough.
Go to / locale (following the sequence above in TCC). Add whatever languages
you want to have available, then you should be able to switch languages by
right-clicking on the country flag in your taskbar at bottom.
However, I did just try this, and no countries or languages were available
except US English ... but I think this is perhaps I have disabled other
choices in localepurge. I used to enable Greek, for example, because I was
setting some text for a translation; but this was back in the old KDE3.
I don't know if there is a way to do this by command-line, but, yes, that
would be very useful. In the meanwhile, if all you want is to make it useful
for yourself, then I think that you will find your solution in these places.

This might help, if pertinent to your question:
Have you tried
localepurge? You can choose more precise language settings, and discard
others that don't apply. (I count 15 choices under "de" for German, for
example, 35 under "en" for English.) Most users will only want one or two
items, such as "en" and "en-us-utf8".
I assume that localepurge would also affect TDE, even though it is not
TDE-specific software. Install that package, then run sudo
dpkg-reconfigure localepurge, and you will get a list of locales.
No, my question wasn't about purging language files I don't use. That's
about saving disk space automatically at installation. FIW, quite a while
ago I checked out localpurge to purge the many TDE language files I never
need, but you would have to configure the paths of those manually etc.
which I didn't try.
Otherwise, I would say TCC, etc., as you have
already tried.
Yep.
Does this
concern the problem from an earlier thread, about logging in
using non-English characters (e.g., an umlaut), or is it a separate
issue?
I dunno. Which thread?
Kind regards,
Stefan
