Re: Changing to British (or Canadian) English (SOLVED)
A Brief Summary for the Archives: I wished to change the Language of both Debian and KDE to British or Canadian English. I ended up doing both: Debian in to Canadian English and KDE in to British English. This is how: For Debian: (as root) dpkg-reconfigure locales # enable the en_GB options For KDE: apt-get install kde-i18n-engb Much Appreciated to those who Assisted.

You didn't quote so I don't know what you're talking about here. If you mean the chmod +x, it doesn't matter: either way will work. However, I just realized setting this in your ~/.profile won't help you anyway if you use a graphical login like XDM or GDM; your ~/.profile is not sourced during that kind of login. Where you need to add it depends on your desktop. For Gnome, for example, you should add it to ~/.gnomerc (create this if it doesn't exist). drl Also, I'm not too sure what has been modified: I don't know if I drl see any changes or not Perhaps my Gaim now says colour where drl once it said Color? Is this Possible? Sure. Gaim does have an en_CA translation (at least on my Sarge box), and it does use, for example, Background Colour instead of Background Color. To see this start Gaim and log in to a server. Open up a chat window. Place your mouse over the A with the dark background in the toolbar at the bottom. If you have your locale set properly the popup tooltip should say Background colour instead of Background color. -- --- Paul D.

Changing to British (or Canadian) English
I've looked all over the place: KDE, I've googled it, the help files in KDE. Nothing seems to tell me how I can change my language in KDE to British (since they don't seem to have Canadian, not there there really is a difference). Could some one please point out how to do this? And, if possible, for Debian (and, in fact, every thing) in general.? It would be Much Appreciated. None the less, I thank you Kindly in Advance. -- —A watched bread-crumb never boils. —My hover-craft is full of eels. —[...]and that's the he and the she of it.
