Linux in ukranian?

[Jsmith2211]

So i recently installed MX Linux on my Laptop, now the folders for desktop, downloads etc are all in ukranian/russian. I managed to change the language in the menus and stuff, but not the folders. What do i need to change to fix this? I assume i pressed the wrong language when i was installing :-)

Which desktop is it using? It could be the project doesn't have localization in Ukranian, all you can do is do a bug request at MX Linux maintainers, and let them check if there is some localization somewhere so they will update their repositories, unless you have to wait someone translates or contact the project maintainers of the desktop and let them search for translators

What does localectl show shows?

That is the thing. That is set correctly, to the UK. But it still renames the folders to russian or ukranien (Not speaking either i dont know which... it is in that alphabet)

 

$ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: gb,us
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Options: grp:alt_shift_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp_led:scroll
It says that the keyboard is set to US, how do i change this to english?

So yes actually uhmm you are using the UK locale, I don't know if you can do this from a gui but try
Uncomment (edit the file as root) the line you see there in /etc/locale.gen, save the file

run sudo locale-gen



sudo localectl set-locale LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8

then reboot

That has made it worse... Now everything is in foreign again... even the system languages...

For some reason it doesn't have your language then

Revert the changes with sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

 

It's more likely the desktop you are using is not localized

maybe. To be honest it is basicaly a fresh install with one document from today on it, so i will just re-install.
