I've found that I can have a very nice English and Japanese set-up
coexisting without too many problems. By default I have:
hastings@onefish ~ 24% locale
LANG=en_AU
LC_CTYPE="en_AU"
LC_NUMERIC="en_AU"
LC_TIME="en_AU"
LC_COLLATE="en_AU"
LC_MONETARY="en_AU"
LC_MESSAGES="en_AU"
LC_PAPER="en_AU"
LC_NAME="en_AU"
LC_ADDRESS="en_AU"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU"
LC_ALL=
NB. (en_AU = English Australian)
Then if I want to do something in Japanese eg. write an email in Japanese
in Galeon, I launch galeon with a little script that sets up the correct
environment:
hastings@onefish ~ 25% cat bin/jp
#!/bin/sh
export LANG="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
export LC_ALL="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
kinput2 -canna &
export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
$*
The last three lines are specific to Japanese input. Perhaps
you need something similar for Arabic? So if I do:
hastings@onefish ~ 26% jp galeon &
I get a instance of galeon that displays Japanese an will accept Japanese
input, while everything else in my session is still in English.
I don't know if the right-to-left input will be a problem though.
HTH,
Nick.
