Using a Different Language
To log in to a session in a different language, perform the following actions.
- On the login screen, click on the Language icon. Choose the language you require from the list of available languages.
- Enter your username in the Username field on the login screen, then press Return.
- Enter your password in the Password field on the login screen, then press Return.
When you log in to a session in a different language, you are changing the language for the user interface but are not changing the keyboard layout. To choose a different keyboard layout, use the Keyboard Indicator applet.
Your system distributor or vendor may have altered the login screen so that it no longer has a Language icon. In this case, the option to change the session's language may be found by clicking the Other icon.
