Solved Language support

I only know about adding Japanese. In that case, I use certain programs that enable me to input Japanese characters. This thread from a couple of years ago might give tips. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/polish-localization-issues.88118/ I just scanned it though, so I'm not sure. You might be better off putting something about Polish in the title. ( I think if you try to edit the first post you can edit the subject) so that those who speak or use Polish would be more likely to notice and perhaps help, with this thread. I see by doing a pkg search there are some packages with cyrillic in the name. (I'm ignorant of the language though, I don't even know if you use the cyrillic alphabet).

No. Latin.

Localization is a non trivial topic - better ask for a specific language.

In general:
At first you have to set your locale variables to a certain language (There are several things languages differ in: the way time and date is presented, currency, values, etc.)
Do a locale to see what they are currently set to, and see hb 25 for details on this topic.

Depending on the language, the software you use (desktop environment, dictionaries (word correction, auto word filler),... LaTeX, whathaveyou), and how consequently you want/need the localization, additional things need to be installed or configured, like installing a dictionary, additional fonts which provide special characters, needed letters, or signs of the language, or telling some certain software to work in a certain language if this ain't correctly autodetected by checking the above mentioned localization variables.
Maybe also additional keyboards and drivers are needed.

For some languages there are ports: chinese, french, german, hebrew, hungarian, japanese, korean, polish, portuguese, russian, ukrainian, and vietnamese
But I neither know what they do, nor how good they satisfy individual needs. I only presume they are meant for to do most of the set up work for a certain language, and contain very language specific things.

However, better was to ask:
"How do I set up my machine in [polish/vietnamese/...]?"
The community's poles/vietnameses/... may give you betters determined answers.
 
Właściwie próbowałem skonfigurować język polski jakiś czas temu, ale przez długi czas nie korzystałem z moich systemów i teraz chcę pozbyć się wszystkich polskich wiadomości
ktore od czasu do czasu, gdy się pojawia i nie mogę tego rozgryźć.

See, scottro ? latin. :cool:

I guess you have one of those automatic helpers active in your browser - "your computer knows better what you really wanna do, than yourself." 😁 - If I had to make a guess would bet on some AI plugin somewhere from Google world, maybe Chrome?
That's why I love FreeBSD: I decide what's installed on my computer. There is no auto-default-BS, because others think they know better what's good for me.
 
Maturin, ok that made me laugh enough to make me cough. Good way to close the evening.
Now, as for any AI in the browser, some web searching has said that these are the ones to be sure to change to false in about:config to get rid of AI in firefox (and, I guess, offshoots like librewolf and waterfox. In all of them, I found that some were disabled, but not all). Not guaranteeing that this is correct, it's along the lines of I saw it on the Internet so it must be true.

browser.ml.enable
browser.ml.chat.enabled
browser.ml.chat.page
browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
extensions.ml.enabled
sidebar.notification.badge.aichat

I should add that this is in FreeBSD. In an Ubuntu VM, I think all were enabled by default.
But even FreeBSD didn't have them all disabled by default, not even in librewolf. (Of course, I guess I'm jumping to a conclusion that a librewolf user wants all AI off.)

My own opinion, and of course, opinions are like certain body parts, everone has them and they all stink, I think AI in a browser should be opt in, not opt out.

Actually I am using Chromium on FreeBSD and I often get options about whether to translate Polish to English.

I must have tried to configure something about a year ago but I don't recall what.

System messages come up in Polish and I haven't yet figured out what is causing this.
 
I'm guessing, with almost no chrome experience (see my post above about opinions), that it is some AI thing. Isn't google, and by extension, chrome, infamous for sticking so-called AI everywhere? Out of curiosity, do you also have Firefox, or an offshoot, on the machine and does the same problem occur with it?
