Is there any workaround known, so that I can have a "interface language" chooser in gdm/kdm/whatever that changes the language displayed by kde?


It might be possible to set and export the LANG environement variable
somewhere in /etc/environement or in the /etc/X/gdm scripts.

Merci Francois, ..
I had already tried this (or emulated this) and it seemed to do nothing... gdm in fact sets the LANG variable, but KDE (at least in sarge) seems to ignore it..


I tried it like this:
opened up konsole, checked LANG by doing "env | grep LANG" ...

1 - LANG was set to "C", I started a konqueror from that console, it started with a portuguese interface... (I had defined in kde control center to use portuguese)
2 - exported LANG=en_US and started konqueror... it also started with portuguese...


So I concluded that KDE is ignoring LANG and using some internal value (not even environment variables as "env" displays nothing with "pt" values)

....
? Toughts ? Maybe we need to setup kde with multiple possibilites in control center, so that he reads LANG?
