[Localization] What to do with missing language on XO language list? (Q&A)

[Jakub Ratajczak]

If you (like me) don't find your language on a list of available languages on XO laptop use localedef command to add language information to underlying Linux system.
 
This is example of adding Polish(Poland) language, its ISO code is pl_PL:

localedef -c -i pl_PL -f UTF-8 pl_PL.UTF-8

To add other language just replace pl_PL with your ISO code. Important is that UTF-8 is the only charset Sugar recognizes, so don't change UTF-8 into any other charset.

Executing this command require root privileges - so first become root with su command or use sudo:
sudo localedef -c -i ht_HT -f UTF-8 ht_HT.UTF-8
 
Chris, please consider adding this info to Translate FAQ wiki section. It may save someone's time.



Thanks,
Jakub
