[Bug 692] New: Language for KDE (locale=de_DE) not set - Eurosymbol not working!
http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=692
Summary: Language for KDE (locale=de_DE) not set - Eurosymbol not
working!
Product: Skolelinux
Version: pr47
Platform: x86
URL: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2001/debian-kde-
200111/msg00193.html
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: locale-config-skolelinux
AssignedTo: nobody@skolelinux.no
ReportedBy: rgx@gmx.de
After selecting German locale, some of the Menu is still English. To correct
this one could put these lines into /etc/environment of each terminal server
(each workstation, too):
LANGUAGE=de_DE@euro:de_DE:de:en_GB:en
LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro"
LC_TIME="de_DE@euro"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro"
LC_NAME="de_DE@euro"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro"
LC_ALL="de_DE@euro"
This is for German, of course, other locales need different settings.
To make KDE be in German, each user's .kde/share/config/ should contain a file
named "kdeglobals" like this:
[Locale]
Charset=iso8859-15
Country=de
Language=de
CurrencySymbol=\0x6c\0x82\0xe2
(The value for CurrencySymbol cannot be entered like this, but should be
created by setting the currency value for some dummy user.)
This file can be put into /etc/skel/.kde/share/config/ for new users.
Most important is too include these packages:
apt-get install euro-support euro-support-x euro-support-console
This makes German the default language and KDE apps show the Euro symbol.
Unsolved is still how to tell OpenOffice to do the same! I assume that the ttf
fonts used don't support the Euro (?).
