This page indicates how to install / use Debian in your local language.
See :
Configuration
Text way
Edit the file /etc/locale.gen (i.e. open a terminal as root, and type nano /etc/locale.gen ) and add your locale settings (one set per line), e.g.:
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
You can see the supported locales typing nano /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED or in ?LocaleSupported .
- Run the command "locale-gen"
Add the default language to the file /etc/profile (one of the entries you generated in /etc/locale.gen):
export LANG=de_DE export LC_ALL=de_DE export LC_CTYPE=de_DE
- To use the new settings with all programs, not only the ones already running, reboot. That's it.
