keyboard for other language
May 08, 2020 10:39PM
I am currently using 5.6.5-kirkwood-tld-1 distribution. Some of the files I have to deal with are in other languages. What do I need to do/download/install to be able to type other language fonts or view through terminal? 

$ locale
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=


This is what happens when I view the file. 
$ ls
''$'\340\270\243\340\270\261\340\270\201\340\270\225\340\270\264\340\270\224\340\271\204\340\270\213\340\271\200\340\270\243\340\270\231'' .mp3'

This is what happens when I ls and then press tab: 
$ ls 
รักติดไซเรน.mp3

jeyrey,

What you need to use is UTF-8. For example, American English is: 

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8


Find your language in /etc/locale.gen. Uncomment that. And run locale-gen.

I don't have locale.gen in /etc/ or anywhere in the system. Is it normal?

When logged from another machine, I am seeing this with locale. 

$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=C
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

apt-get install locales

and then edit locale.gen

Installed locales, update /etc/locale.gen but there is no locale.gen in the system. 

# locale.gen
bash: locale.gen: command not found

The command is locale-gen (with a dash). The file that contains the setting is local.gen (with a dot).

Found it. For some reason, /usr/sbin is not included in the path. Now I need to get it to work with the new fonts. Thanks.

jeyrey,

Very odd that /usr/sbin is not in the PATH.

You need at least: 

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
