This is nearly as confusing as Windows ;) There are two components to the locale: - - the country, which contains all support other than actual translated text; - - the language, which contains translated text strings. The country can be set straight off but, to set the locale, you need to download and install the appropriate i18n package from the KDE3 'n0-architecture' folder (which is sometimes omitted or lost on mirrors). Here's one: ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.1/Mandrake/noarch Then Personalisation | Country and Language automatically picks up the new locale. (Not that there's much difference between the UK and US translations that I can determine; no 'Oh, I say' when an warning box pops up or 'What ho!' as a progress bar crawls across the screen, for example ;) Unfortunately there's no ...tr... file, so the Turkish locale appears not to be translated (your moment of immortality in the Open Source movement awaits you :) This confirms it: http://i18n.kde.org/stats/doc/ If the languages you know are all supported this is brilliant; I can switch between English, German and Russian effortlessly. Not being able to do so was one of the principal reasons for my ditching Windows; Microsoft's support for multiple locales, the user interface of which KDE probably cop^H^H^Hborrowed, is bug-ridden and such switching, although theoretically possible, never worked properly for me.
