I installed Ubuntu 8.10 in Korean for somebody else, which is easy even though I don't speak or read Korean myself. All the menus are in Korean, apparently in familiar places, but there is more I need to do.
1. Can I switch the menus back and forth to English so I can administer, ie add packages and updates and install the printer? If so, how?
2, I set up in Korean so they would have a Korean word processor. OO now gives Korean menus, and I heard it can handle Korean for typing, but for now the typing itself is English, even though I did a Korean keyboard set up. Am I supposed to install Korean fonts or additional packages to make it work in Korean? And is there a way to switch languages from the inside or the outside of OO once I get it ready to handle both?
3. How do I set the computer to type Korean into other apps, such as the browser?
4. Where do I buy a keyboard that has Korean letters on it, or maybe blank keys?
Thanks.
