I have 4 users on a computer, 1 of them needs to have the lanuage in Dutch, 1 in Spanish.
I can see the option to change the language on login but then I get this error:
nederlands.utf not present
then everything appears in english again/.
Also, how can I choose a language for each user by default without them having to change it at every login?
change language for 1 user

Mintlinux 13 xfce 64-bit
Here is how I was able to create a dual language (EN & DK) keyboard:
I shift language by pressing ctrl and shift together.
abc ... æøå
Go to etc/default/keyboard
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,dk"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS="grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
I suggest you teach the non multilingual users how to switch back to English
in case they accidentally find they are not in English.
Unfortunately I have not found a language display applet as yet.
Ubuntu gnome 10.04 had a language applet.

The problem is that when you select Dutch, it does not stay as Dutch, none of the Windows are in Dutch. Is this a bug?
Re: change language for 1 user
I would suggest you create a multiboot pc.
Install the Dutch version of Mint in one partition,
Spanish in another, and English in another.
Then when a user wants to use the pc, he/she
reboots to the language desired. This way
you can have secure username/password
protection also for your clients.
Will Mint allow 3 Mint versions on one pc???
Or will Mint think you are trying to fix
a previous install?

Re: change language for 1 user
But there is supposed to be the functionality for different users to use different languages so why install on separate partitions?Jim1938 wrote:I would suggest you create a multiboot pc.
