Description of problem: Switching default languages before logging in does not work completely Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC5 in US English 2. Switch the default language to Mainland (Simplified) Chinese from the login screen 3. Login, most applications show Simplified Chinese menus. 4. Logout. Switch the default language back to US English. Login again. 5. Put a black CD into the CD writer. Actual results: An CD icon shows up on the desktop with Simplified Chinese label. Expected results: US English label. Additional info:
I'm not sure what you mean by "label". The label shown for a cd disk is read from the cd itself. If that is in chinese there is nothing we can do about that. Or am i misunderstanding. Please give a bit more detail.
Here's some additional information (and corrections to the original report): 1. I used a DVD+R disk, not a CD. The label that shows up underneath the DVD+R icon for a blank DVD+R is "Blank DVD+R Disk." The Chinese translation is "空DVD +Rç¢çâ. 2. I did not install FC5 on a fresh box. Rather I upgraded an FC4 box to FC5. 3. The problem is not always reproducible. On subsequent tries of switching between US English and Simplified Chinese, I did get the correct label for the language.
The times it doesn't work, is there any processes running from the desktop session after you log out? For instance, gnome-vfs-daemon?
I did not check at the time. Something might have been running. As I mentioned in my second post, I did not experience this problem on subsequent language switches. So it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you close this bug as not-reproducible. -- Weiqi Gao
