German localization in gnome

[rocky123414]

hi!

I' m new to FreeBSD and I 've installed Gnome yesterday.

I don't know what's wrong, but I can't switch to German localization.

Gdm doesn't show any language preferences. I've edited my /etc/profile and added these lines:

export LANGUAGE=de
export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-15
export LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO8859-15
gdm_lang="de_DE_ISO-8859-1"

So GDM is in German, but Gnome is still in English.

Thank you for answers, and sorry for my bad english :-)!

Rocky

How do you installed gnome? package or ports?

gnome version?

uname -a result?

[rocky123414]

uname -a

FreeBSD .fritz.box 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE #0: Sat Nov 21 15:48:17 UTC 2009
root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

gnome was installed via pgk_add -r. Version 2.26.3

I tried to edit /etc/login.conf, but it didn't take effect.
Shall I put the entries under "default"? It seems that all other login-classes in login.conf are simply pointing to "default".

after you edit /etc/login.conf you need to run
cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf and reboot

i ran cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf

that didn't work either...

Three days agao, I installed freebsd 8.0 and gnome again from scrash.

I recompile kernel, userland and all the package through ports. Every thing is fine.

I think your question is a bug from some package, and you can update all packages to solve it.

If you don't know how to do it, read Handbook Chapter 4 (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports.html).

Further more, you just installed a 8.0 relsease, you shoul update your freebsd, there are two patch for 8.0 release, for details read Handbook Chapter 21 (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/updating-upgrading.html).
