Description of problem:
After running a minimal install of FC4 - because I had only the first CD, I was left with a US American Gnome. Not what I wanted.

On my quest to switch to British English, and to add support for German (for spell  checking), I hunted through my Desktop> Preferences menu.

Nothing.

Desktop> System Settings looked more promising, but I don't want to change the language for the whole system, just for me.

If you file a bug report (bug 136648), you get told that languages are to be added using system-config-packages.. very unintuitive, but okay..
So I loaded it. Under the languages section I get a rather long randomly sorted list of languages. Finding the two I want is a chore given the lack of order. After selecting British and German I'm asked to insert a CD, which I don't have handy.

Fedora is mature now, Gnome has supported the use of different languages for yonks, please can you make the ability to change a language be more intuitive for FC5?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
x

Additional info:

Would like bug to be marked as a Target for FC5.

I cannot add new language with  system-config-packages. "Update" button is  
not active when I select a new language.  

Comment 2 Nerijus Baliūnas 2005-10-25 00:03:05 UTC
In FC3 SUPPORTED line in /etc/sysconfig/i18n includes all languages I selected  
during installation, but in FC4 only en_US. Is it intended?
