As I wrote I still think it's a config problem not a control center problem. Double check if your /usr/share/locale/lo has entries and contents like, e.g., $ l /usr/share/locale/de | grep -v cups_ total 52 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 2000-01-29 21:51 charset -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1458 2004-05-28 11:39 entry.desktop -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 357 1999-05-31 15:48 flag.png drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 2004-09-13 23:00 LC_MESSAGES drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2004-07-28 14:47 LC_TIME If this does not help, ask on the general kde-i18n KDE lists.

Has your ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals a section like [Locale] Country=lo Language=lo Did you try setting the language with kpersonalizer (aka desktop settings wizard)? Sorry, I've no idea why your Lao language setting via controlcenter does not work.

RE: Howto load i18n?
Thanks, Hendrik. Yes, I am the team coordinator for Lao KDE. I created those mo files and put them in /usr/share/locale/lo/LC_MESSAGES/*mo. The files are there, but how do you tell the system, KDE, that there is kde-i18n-lo? Any particular file(s) I need to create or tweak?

Howto load i18n?
Hi folks, I recently installed the latest Debian in Vmware as guest os. It works like a charm. I really like it. But there couple of issues I have to deal with. Hoping you can help me out. I have all Lao (KDE) mo files located under /usr/share/locale/lo/mo*. In Control Center, I changed language to Lao then select Lao OT fonts for Menu under Appearance and Themes. Nothing happens. Though I try to shutdown the KDE apps and start them, but still nothing happens. How do you load any other languages in Debian? What are steps I need to accomplish this? I recall a friend saying that Debian is much more friendly then others in terms of internationalization.I recall that was how I loaded Lao under Mandrake. Thanks for your help in advance. Regards, Anousak
