bamboccio Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi, 2007.0 comes with Japanese support but I could not find a download for 2007.1 with Japanese support. Anyone any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I believe all downloads of 2007.1 support Japanese, but you have to configure it after the initial install by installing the proper RPM's (mostly fonts) and changing localization settings.

spinynorman Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 It looks as if you need Mandriva Linux One 2007 Spring KDE 32-bit Extra i18n ("for more languages"), whch can be downloaded from www.mandriva.com/en/download/mandrivaone. Correction: that only supports Arab, Bulgarian, English, Hindi, Lithuanian, Dutch, Nynorsk, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Zulu. (The standard versions do Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish) reference: www.mandriva.com/en/community/mandrivaone You may have to go with tyme's solution...

bamboccio Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Thanks, I have installed all the packages that match japan in their description and the fonts come up. I can display Japanese characters but when I then try to go in and add a new language using the KDE control center there is still no Japanese in the list :( To clarify I am looking to be able to enter japanese text and to have all the menus in Japanese. Am I missing something? Thanks Edited May 23, 2007 by bamboccio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 you'll also want to install locales-ja for input, see: http://www.h4.dion.ne.jp/~apricots/scim-anthy/howto.html you might actually find it easier to grab the Free DVD and install from that, selecting Japanese as a language during installation: that way all necessary packages will be installed and input will be set up.

bamboccio Posted May 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 you'll also want to install locales-ja I installed locales-ja now and looks like scim (the input program) works but still under the languages I cannot see Japanese. Do you think the only way is the free CD? My problem with that is that I got an old NVidia video card. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 My problem with that is that I got an old NVidia video card.That just means you'll need to download and install the NVIDIA drivers (available on nvidia's website) yourself. It's not that hard, we can walk you through if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamboccio Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I am actually almost there I think. I installed the package kde-i18n-ja and now Japanese is one language I can add within control center. The only problem is that the fonts are not displayed correctly in Control Center when Japanese is selected as the main language. Hopefully a reboot will help.
