Using a Different Language

To log in to a session 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.

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.
