Localization
Multilingual Kernel!
Multilingual Kernel!
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.
You can set the language or the culture using the settings command under the General section. Any language changes will be saved to the configuration file.
To change the simulated kernel language using the settings application, follow these steps:
Log-in to the system account, root, or any of the administrators or users that has at least the settings management permission
Execute the settings command, go to General, and go to Language
Select a new language, then log-out and log in again.
Similarly, you can change the culture from the same menu, but go to Culture.
To change the simulated kernel language using the command-line, follow these steps:
Log-in to the system account, root, or any of the administrators or users that has at least the settings management permission
Execute the chlang command, pointing it to the target language that you wish to set to, such as dtc and ptg.
Alternatively, if you want to specify a country, you can use the -country flag, but specify a valid country.
To set the language for your user, you can use the -user flag.
Log-out and log in again.
To change the simulated kernel culture using the command-line, follow these steps:
Log-in to the system account, root, or any of the administrators or users that has at least the settings management permission
Execute the chculture command, pointing it to the target culture that you wish to set to, such as en-US and zh-CN.
To set the language for your user, you can use the -user flag.
Log-out and log in again.
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 .
