Hi Biff et al,

I'm looking for recommendations as to what Graphical Applications/Plug-ins are available for changing Keyboard Layout and Language/Locale for the LXDE version?

Thanks, Michael.

Foe reference;

I started that topic.  ;)

I found what I was looking for with the FSnow Tools PPA that was mentioned in the above topic.

With a fair bit of trial and error research, I discovered that I should be able to create a Menu Item to execute the following to provide a graphical interface to change Locale.  :)

Code: [Select]
gksu "dpkg-reconfigure -f gnome locales"
Thanks, Michael.

Be careful though. The FSnow`s PPA is made with Ubuntu in mind. WattOS is Debian. See for an example;
