Languages

Multilingual Kernel!

Last updated 7 months ago

Localization was implemented when computers were distributed in non-English countries to aid the users in using their computers in their native language. This feature is currently supported in both Windows and Unix-based operating systems.

However, Linux boot messages don't get localized unless the localization is set, which is done in the middle of the boot process. This simulator attempts to localize the boot messages in the start of the process.

Extra languages are bundled as a kernel extras addon.

Setting the language

You can set the language using the settings command under the General section. Any language changes will be saved to the configuration file.

You can use chlang with the -usesyslang switch to change your kernel language to a language that Nitrocid detects based on your UI language set by your operating system.

Through settings

To change the simulated kernel language using the settings application, follow these steps:

  1. Log-in to the system account, root, or any of the administrators or users that has at least the settings management permission

  2. Execute the settings command, go to General, and go to Language

  3. Select a new language, then log-out and log in again.

Note that your account must have either the administrative permissions enabled or the settings management permission granted to be able to use this command.

Through command-line

To change the simulated kernel language using the command-line, follow these steps:

  1. Log-in to the system account, root, or any of the administrators or users that has at least the settings management permission

  2. Execute the chlang command, pointing it to the target language that you wish to set to, such as dtc and ptg.

  3. Log-out and log in again.

Note that your account must have either the administrative permissions enabled or the settings management permission granted to be able to use this command.

Languages usually get translated at the end of each development period of each upcoming kernel version, so it's normal to see untranslated strings in development versions. If you still see these untranslated strings in the final version, report them to us .
