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.
OK. I didn't remember that one. It's not related, it's about entering
passwords in tdm.
Kind regards,
Stefan

I believe that, actually, yes, this is where you need to add the language
setting. That's how I could add other language GUIs. Then go to the next tab,
Switching Options, and you can enable option "Show Country Flag", and you
have further choices, e.g., Global, or per Application or per Window.
Then you get the country flag in your taskbar, and after that, all you need to
do is right-click and change. I just enabled (as an experiment), Greek,
Russian, etc. (so that I would have an entirely different alphabet), and it
works like that.

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.
Yes, that's what I did. And I was looking for exactly something like this
country-flag in taskbar, but I don't have that on my system. Mmh. How do
you get that? Can you enable that in TCC? I only know the one for keyboard
layouts.
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.
P.P.S. WHOOPS!
Also look under TCC / Regional & Accessibility / Country / keyboard
layout,
Keyboard layout is not the issue here. 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?
