Openbox menu of Microwatt is not generated automatically.
There will be the person who wants to add Debian menu here.
This can be very easily realized.

Menu(right button) - Preferences - Config The Menu-GUI

add follows to the New menu:

• Label: Debian
• ID: /Debian

After:


Debian Menu displays it by the language if you use Micwowatt other than English.

wattOS which became the Debian base is changed to the installer conventionally.
When you want to use wattOS in other languages, The installation may become English.
But the procedure of the installation will not be troubled because it is the almost same as before.



After having rebooted, you may meet with problem of character.
But you know the necessary item,
The item necessary for login is a user name and the password that you input by installation some time ago.



An icon of Terminal will be found on a panel. accept the command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install fonts-droidYou may install of necessary package here. (that I need ibus-mozc for Japanese input)

Please go logout and the login once (or reboot wattOS),
You can use wattOS in an objective language in this.



Because fonts-droid is included in the MATE version, this will be more likely to display it normally.

wattOS R8 adopted Iceweasel for a browser newly.
We can use this like Firefox.
When you want to apply a language file, you install package "iceweasel-l10n-XX". (XX=language code)
You may install this using synaptic and apt-get. For example, I do it this way from the terminal:
sudo apt-get install iceweasel-l10n-ja


Note:
Most of the indication of Microwatt becomes English.
When you want to use it by a specific language, you should use of LXDE or MATE version.

I confirmed that indication had a problem with some windows in MATE version.
For example, Trasmission corresponds to this.

A black letter is originally displayed by some application white in this way.

You can improve this problem by the following method.
System - Preferences - Appearance


set some Theme


Or choose Customize...
choose Control except Menta.

 
After:

Please share the specifications of the PC using your wattOS.
This helps that everybody knows the movement environment of wattOS.
