Funtoo Linux Localização

Definir Idioma Padrão

No Funtoo, há dois arquivos de configuração responsáveis suas configurações de idioma: /etc/locale.gen e /etc/env.d/00basic. O primeiro arquivo contém somente en_US.UTF-8 locale habilitado. O ultimo é um arquivo padrão embarcado que vem a partir do stage3 e responsável pelo en_US.UTF-8 locale system-wide. não recomendado editar. Os passos a seguir lhe guiarão através do processo de editar o idioma padrão do sistema (default system language), utilizando o francês canadense como um exemplo. Primeiro você terá que editar /etc/locale.gen:

root # nano -w /etc/locale.gen

Especifique sua localidade preferida com o formato de caracter acompanhante (Você vai preferir principalmente UTF-8):

Note

É recomendado manter o en_US.UTF-8 locale pré-configurado com um fallback.

/etc/locale.gen

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8

Para determinar uma localidade apropriada para o seu sistema, você deve dar uma olha em /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED para a lidta padrão de combinações suportadas ou verifique o diretório /usr/share/i18n/locales/ para uma lista de valores válidos.

Warning

Lhe é altamente aconcelhado usar ao menos uma localidade UTF-8 desde que algumas aplicações possam exigi-la.

Now, those locales need to be generated:

root # locale-gen
 * Generating 2 locales (this might take a while) with 1 jobs
 *  (1/2) Generating en_US.UTF-8 ... [ ok ]
 *  (2/2) Generating fr_CA.UTF-8 ... [ ok ]
 * Generation complete

Once done, you can apply your locale settings system-wide. First display all available options:

user $ eselect locale list
root ##b##Available targets for the LANG variable:
  [1]   C
  [2]   POSIX
  [3]   fr_CA.utf8
  [4]   en_US.utf8 *
  [ ]   (free form)

The blue star indicates the current default system locale. You can now change it according your wishes:

root # eselect locale set 3
Setting LANG to fr_CA.utf8 ...
Run ". /etc/profile" to update the variable in your shell.

Alternatively, you can set the default locale manually. This file should be created first with your prefered editor:

/etc/env.d/02locale

LANG="fr_CA.utf8"

You can verify your actions using:

user $ eselect locale show
root ##b##LANG variable in profile:
  fr_CA.utf8

For an immediate effect it is required to reload the environment:

root # env-update && source /etc/profile
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...

Congratulations! You have successfully set up your default language on Funtoo.

Portage Settings

Portage uses a special variable LINGUAS that defines what localizations/translations get installed by default. By default, LINGUAS in unset, which will result in all available localizations being installed by Portage.

It is possible to customize the setting of LINGUAS by setting it in /etc/make.conf:

root # LINGUAS="en_US zh_CN"

The LINGUAS variable should use spaces between each localization name.

Read Your Language

A newly installed Funtoo Linux does not able to read all the languages. You want to read the stuff, say, in Mozilla Firefox. You need to install fonts - A good sign that you have not installed the proper fonts is that the following characters appear as boxes with numbers inside: 日本語フォント

Check if you have your language installed (Chinese) by using the fc-list command from the media-libs/fontconfig ebuild:

root # fc-list :lang=zh

If you are lucky, the right font will be installed, and your apps will also be able to use Chinese as the default language. But in case you not have the right font installed in this way, you need to install them manually.

For Japanese:

root # emerge media-fonts/kochi-substitute

For Chinese:

root # emerge media-fonts/arphicfonts

For Korean:

root # emerge media-fonts/baekmuk-fonts

Keymap

Funtoo Linux defaults to a US English keyboard. If you are using another type of keyboard, edit /etc/conf.d/keymaps and set keymap to your keyboard model. For example, cf for French Canadian keyboard, fr for French Azerty.

root # nano -w /etc/conf.d/keymaps

Input Method

ibus is an Intelligent Input Bus for Linux.

root # emerge -av ibus

You also need to install language table for ibus (Chinese)

root # emerge -av ibus-table-chinese
