Hi! I guess you changed the language in the KDE control center. (If not than stop reading)
If you change in KDE it will change sttings for KDE only. Or if you changed elsewhere, try reinstalling (formatting / only, not /home) BAT -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Hakan Duran Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 11:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] problem with individualization Hi everybody, I have a P133, 128 RAM box running happily in a dual boot environment with Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.2.19-19mdksecure, kde2.2.1 and windows95. The problem started when I change the system settings in terms of language, fonts (console and X-windows) and keymaps, to Turkish, since I joined the translation team. This did not take too much effort surprisingly (to me at least), however I noticed some problems afterwards, to which some people here may suggest some solutions hopefully: 1. Everything (fonts, keymaps, etc.) is OK for kde. Local messages, menus are all OK. However, gnome does not display special characters of this language at anywhere (menus, dialogs, error messages, etc.), although the font and keycode (ISO-8859-9) are set appropriate. One of the Turkish gurus has told me that might be because this version of gnome does not convert UTF-8 to ISO-8859-9. This problem is supposed to be resolved in gnome 2.0 she added. 2. All of the mandrake tools (everything in mandrake control center, such as menudrake, harddrake, etc) has the same problem with gnome. All the special characters are replaced by "?", even if they run under kde. Moreover, rpmdrake never installs, updates or upgrades any package anymore! Whenever I try to do so, it returns with the packages are bad, regardless of the source (ftp site, cdroms, etc). This is rather strange, because I could not resolve the problem by reverting the changes for language step by step (fonts, keymaps, local messages, etc.). OK, I did not revert everything back to English all at the same time, but the only combination I didn't try was that. I believe this is a serious problem, unless my rpmdrake was corrupted by another mechanism simultaneously, by chance. I am ready to try any suggestions made.
