You can also try this:
- Boot the Live USB as normal
- Run the MXPI (Main Menu >> MX Tools >> MX Package Installer)
- In tab ‘Popular Applications’, section Language
- Select your language
- Install
Again, not sure it’ll work, and there might be an additional step to
set/change the language somewhere.

A question to all apt at MX Linux: Is there a way
to change the GUI from
english to e.g. german for the live session? I know I can change it later
to german when TDE is already installed, but I have to walk a group pf
people through that process that are a bit older than myself and not all
speak englisch at all.
Hi Nik,
I only speak English, so I’m only going to be able to help sift the MX
Forums for you. These two seem promising:
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=57249&p=568310#p5683…
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=58025&p=574924#p574…
If neither help, I’ll do some more digging!

Sorry, does not work. I get german manpages, spellchecker, firefox ... but no german XFCE
languge pack. Maybe I missed it, but I'm quite sure there was non.
The links above only set timezone and keyboard, but not the language of the GUI.
Ok, need to take a closer look.

Hi Michael,
I did not find a tool to change the language of the GUI for the running system (i.e. live
system always is english, no matter what I select on the boot screen), but when I change
the settings and create either a usb-live-image or a hd installation, then after a reboot
the language is according to settings. Interestingly antiX does handle the boot settings
correct - you can boot to a german GUI. So it comes to creating a custom ISO with the
correct language settings.
So now I'm on step 2: TDE. Where do I find the latest version of the TDE-for-MX config
that you made?
Nik
Best,
Michael

Note: MX added a KDE (plasma?) version to their desktop install .iso's a
month or so ago. It doesn't effect TDE, but they did change some of the MX
Tools / MX Package Installer support code for it. If you get any errors
while using the MXPI in TDE (virtualbox has a known issue), login to Xfce and
do the MXPI from there. I haven't really tested all the other MX Tools since
the change, but if you're doing anything potentially breakable (Nvidia driver
installation!) I'd do it from Xfce.
