| |
|
| |
|
| This section includes information on language support under Fedora.
| | {{Docs_beat_closed}} |
|
| |
|
| * Localization (translation) of Fedora is coordinated by the [[L10N| Fedora Localization Project]] .
| | == Input Methods == |
| * Internationalization of Fedora is maintained by the [[I18N| Fedora I18n Project]] .
| | * In ibus-libpinyin, press "Ctrl-Shift-d" to remove the remembered user phrase; and in double pinyin mode, press "I" to use lua script extension. |
| | | * XKB option ISO_Level3_Shift key is not available in control-center Keyboard panel, one needs to use 'gnome-tweak-tool' to enable 3rd level chooser key. |
| === Language Coverage ===
| |
| | |
| Fedora features a variety of software which is translated in [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/languages many languages] . For a list of languages refer to the [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/anaconda translation statistics] for '''Anaconda''', which is one of the core software applications in Fedora.
| |
| | |
| ==== Language Support Installation ====
| |
| To install additional language support from the '''Languages''' group, use ''Applications > Add/Remove Software'', or run this command:
| |
| | |
| <pre>su -c 'yum groupinstall <language>-support'
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| In the command above, <code><language></code> is one of <code>assamese</code>, <code>bengali</code>, <code>chinese</code>, <code>gujarati</code>, <code>hindi</code>, <code>japanese</code>, <code>kannada</code>, <code>korean</code>, <code>malayalam</code>, <code>marathi</code>, <code>oriya</code>, <code>punjabi</code>, <code>sinhala</code>, <code>tamil</code>, <code>telegu</code>, <code>thai</code>, and so on.
| |
| | |
| SCIM users upgrading from earlier releases of Fedora are strongly urged to install <code>scim-bridge-gtk</code>. This application works well with third-party C++ applications linked against older versions of <code>libstdc++</code>.
| |
| | |
| To add SCIM support to input a particular language, install <code>scim-lang-<lang></code>, where <code><lang></code> is one of <code>assamese</code>, <code>bengali</code>, <code>chinese</code>, <code>dhivehi</code>, <code>farsi</code>, <code>gujarati</code>, <code>hindi</code>, <code>japanese</code>, <code>kannada</code>, <code>korean</code>, <code>latin</code>, <code>malayalam</code>, <code>marathi</code>, <code>oriya</code>, <code>punjabi</code>, <code>sinhalese</code>, <code>tamil</code>, <code>telugu</code>, <code>thai</code>, or <code>tibetan</code>.
| |
| | |
| ==== Transifex ====
| |
| [https://fedorahosted.org/transifex/ Transifex] is Fedora's online tool to facilitate contributing translations to projects hosted on remote and disparate version control systems. Many of the core packages use Transifex to receive translations from numerous contributors.
| |
| | |
| Through a combination of [http://translate.fedoraproject.org/ new Web tools] , community growth, and better processes, translators can contribute directly to any upstream project through one translator-oriented Web interface. Developers of projects with no existing translation community can easily reach out to Fedora's established community for translations. In turn, translators can reach out to numerous projects related to Fedora to easily contribute translations.

|
