[wieselflink]

Hallo, i am a german, sorry

now i will spend two weeks for holiday outside germany

How can i change the whole enviroment for example to

1) spain

2) bulgarian

3) back to german

That means, start a script, or something little and after that, i can browse with iceweasel with spain, i can write with kmail and all the kmail things are in spain, i use another programm, and it is like a installtion ONLY in spain - comprende

that's all - not more - any hints - thanks a lot - Reginaldo le lion

The basic idea of how you do this is to have LANG set properly. One common way to do it is to have it in your shell initialization files. For example in my .bashrc I have the line

Code: Select all

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

which sets my language to en_US and my encoding to UTF-8.
