mandrivsen Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 My earlier Mandrake release was installed with Unicode as a default. However, when I recently installed new Mandriva release, on the very first installation screen "Language choice" I forgot to check the box "Use Unicode by default". Unfortunately gedit does not display files written with UTF-8 locale is not displayed correctly, and worse, if I modify or add text to old files, they can no longer be saved. I get the message Could not save file xyz; Invalid byte sequences in conversion input Is there a way to change my locale to be defined as Unicode (UTF-8) again. I would like to avoid reinstalling the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 In the MCC (System\Configuration\Configure your computer) click on the system tab and on the system language (the icon with flags). On the window which appeared click on the advanced button. That should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
