Switching Language
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many common languages are included on OSGeo-Live. To switch languages:

   #. Log out
   #. Select another language from the bottom panel menu.
   #. Select user="user", password="user"
   #. Repeat the process if wish to change languages again.

The system menus and many of the applications will now appear in the language chosen. If a specific program continues to display in English, then the program doesn't have a translation available - please consider volunteering to write a translation. Contact the program of interest directly for more information.

For additional languages see :menuselection:`Applications --> System --> Language Support` (Requires an internet connection).

International keyboard support is installed, but you will need to configure the system for your specific keyboard. 
To change settings open :menuselection:`Applications --> Settings --> Settings Manager` in the menu and double-click on :guilabel:`Keyboard`
