## To use the Refracta in your native language

Sun Nov 06, 2016 11:54 am

Refracta ISO is to fit on 700M, it uses localepurge.
Therefore, if you want to use the Refracta in non-English, it will remain a lot of English.
I will leave the tips to make this solution here:

Code:
  `$ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt remove localepurge asunder man-db
  $ sudo apt dist-upgrade
  $ sudo apt -u --reinstall --fix-missing install $(dpkg -S LC_MESSAGES | cut -d: -f1 | tr ', ' '\n' | sort -u)
  $ sudo apt install asunder man-db
  $ sudo apt install --install-recommends task-<language> task-<language>-desktop
  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata`

<language> is a full in lowercase. (ex: japanese)

Thank you! I would not have known how to do that if someone asked.
I could be wrong, but I think this procedure is not needed for the few pre-configured languages in Refracta. Here's the list.

Code:
  `ar_LB.UTF-8 UTF-8
  de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
  en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
  en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
  es_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8
  et_EE.UTF-8 UTF-8
  fi_FI.UTF-8 UTF-8
  fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
  he_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8
  hi_IN UTF-8
  hy_AM UTF-8
  is_IS.UTF-8 UTF-8
  it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8
  lt_LT.UTF-8 UTF-8
  lv_LV.UTF-8 UTF-8
  nb_NO.UTF-8 UTF-8
  nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8
  nn_NO.UTF-8 UTF-8
  pl_PL.UTF-8 UTF-8
  pt_PT.UTF-8 UTF-8
  ro_RO.UTF-8 UTF-8
  ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8
  sr_RS UTF-8
  sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8
  tr_TR.UTF-8 UTF-8`

Unfortunately Japanese (ja_JP.UTF-8) does not exist on that list...
I chose Japanese as locale, but because Rafracta discarded the locale file,
it was in English display.
Therefore I had to do this work with Refracta.
It will exist elsewhere. Even just looking at it, Korean, Chinese, ...
I think this is a very difficult task for beginners of locale discarded languages...

Would it be overly involved to add Japanese to the existing file? In other words, is it as simple as adding ja_JP.UTF-8 to the file, or is it much more involved than that?
I'm only asking, because I still have much to learn and am trying to improve my knowledge.

I think it is easy, but there is a problem with thickening Refracta ISO.
It may exceed the CD size.
