Re: Synaptic graphical installer looking for help

[Anmar Oueja <anmar at canada dot com>]

Hello Jean-Michel:

The best way to change the locale on Debian system is the following:

1. launch a terminal and run the following as root:

	dpkg-reconfigure locales

2. Choose an arabic locale from the list:

	ar_xx (Any ar_xx would do)

3. log out of X (assuming you are using gdm) choose the arabic locale 
from the "language" list and log back into GNOME... tada.. you should be 
in Arabic environment.

There are other mo conulted ways... but this is the way all uses will do 
it so you better test it this way.

Unfortunately, i do not have any time to translation... lots of things 
on the TODO list already. I am sure somebody will help. If nothing 
happens, I will translate a few strings for you to test with.

Salam (peace in Arabic)
