To Log In to a Different Language on Linux

To log in to the desktop in a different language, perform the following actions:

  1. On the login screen, click on the Language icon. Choose the language you require from the list of available languages.

  2. Enter your username in the Username field on the login screen, then press Return.

  3. Enter your password in the Password field on the login screen, then press Return.


Note –

When you log in to a session in a different language, you choose the language for the user interface. You do not specify a keyboard layout for the session. To specify a keyboard layout, use the Keyboard Layout Switcher panel application.


Panel applications are small, interactive applications that reside within a panel, for example CD Player. Each panel application has a simple user interface that you can operate with the mouse or keyboard.
