Dear Sirs,
I have a laptop in English. Id tried to install Ubuntu trougth Wubi, in this case I could not select another language (for me Spanish). I ran Ubuntu, after the installation and I could not change the language from the application.
How can I exchange English by Spanish
Kind Regards

open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)
write:

sudo aptitude install language-pack-es
this will install Spanish language
now in the login screen you can change the language
press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace for login
select your language from the language menu

This doesn't work for me. When I change the language to English it's still in Swedish for me. Is there any other way?

Not meaning to bring up old thread, but this thing still unanswered and as I got here from searches, so do many other people.

In Ubuntu Server, you check if the desired language is installed either by


sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

if it is installed it will show up as updated or as up-to-date

You can also


sudo apt-get remove language-pack-

and TAB TAB for autocompletion. It will autocomplete listing the langpacks available for removal, thus installed.

If yours does not show...


sudo apt-get install language-pack-xx

where xx is your language

Now it is installed but not configured.

Configure it in


nano /etc/default/locale

Finally reboot to apply changes...


sudo reboot
