SET-LANGUAGE-ENV(1)                           SET-LANGUAGE-ENV(1)



NAME
       set-language-env  -  Making basic settings for native lan-
       guages

SYNOPSIS
       set-language-env [-l language] [-hvsrNcCRE]

DESCRIPTION
       set-language-env establishes basic native  language  envi-
       ronment by adding lines to your dot-files.  Since the set-
       ting is established by adding lines to your dot-files, the
       private environment for only a person who invokes set-lan-
       guage-env is affected.  It does not change any system-wide
       settings.   (Note:  The  root  user  can  change /etc/skel
       directory.)

       This  version  supports  Belarusian,  Bulgarian,   Danish,
       French, German, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Polish, Rus-
       sian, Serbian, Spanish, Thai, and Ukrainian.

       set-language-env shows a list  of  Debian  packages  which
       should  be installed.  These packages are required to uti-
       lize settings.  You have to install them or ask  the  site
       administrator to install them.

       Added  lines  are  surrounded  with  the header and footer
       lines.  Since these lines are used by set-language-env  to
       recognize  the  lines  it  has added, please do not modify
       them. You can modify lines  before  the  header  line  and
       after  the  footer  line and the modification will be pre-
       served after invocations of set-language-env.

       When language-env  package  is  updated,  you  can  safely
       update  your  dot-files  by only invoking set-language-env
       without your original setting being affected.   The  place
       where  the lines were added is not changed by the process.
       However, if you directly modified a setting which set-lan-
       guage-env  have added, it will be lost on the next invoca-
       tion of set-language-env.

              sr Serbian
              th Thai
              uk Ukrainian

       -h     Show help message.

       -v     Verbose mode, mainly for debugging.

       -s     Show a list of supported languages.

       -r     Remove  all  settings  by  set-language-env in your
              dot-files.

       -N     Don't fork another set-language-env.   This  option
              is for internal use.

       -c     On   runtime   of   set-language-env,  native  lan-
              guage-specific (i.e. non-ASCII) characters (such as
              Kanji  and  ISO-8859-1)  are not used.  Though this
              option is intended to be used internally, this  can
              be  used to override automatic detection of whether
              native language-specific characters can be used  or
              not when the detection does not work well.

       -C     On   runtime   of   set-language-env,  native  lan-
              guage-specific (i.e. non-ASCII) characters (such as
              Kanji and ISO-8859-1) are used.  Though this option
              is intended to be used internally, this can be used
              to  override  automatic detection of whether native
              language-specific characters can  be  used  or  not
              when the detection does not work well.

       -R     Root  user  usually cannot set his/her own settings
              into  /root  directory   because   set-language-env
              checks it.  This option disables the check.

       -E     Settings  are done into /etc/skel directory instead
              of users' home directory.  Only root user  can  use
              this option.

       will have to write
       (1) contents which will be added to users' dot-files,
       (2) 'support' file,
       (3) documents, and
       (4) image file for tklanguage.
