Different UI Language per User -- possible?

[Luffield]

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 with the Gnome desktop, with English interface. I want to open a new user account which will have a different UI language, but I can't find a way to do it -- I can only change the UI language for all users (from the language settings application). Am I missing something or is it just impossible to do what I want?

hi

look here : "Per-user language support?" (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=542463&highlight=user+language+interface), that worked great for me

i just "sudo gedit" to the user file add the language, switch user and it work.

to find all your currently installed locales type in terminal

locale -a

Thanks KaliVoid, it worked perfectly on my machine as well.
Funny, I searched the forums before I opened this thread but somehow managed to miss the thread you linked to.

For me editing the .dmrc file did not work. What did work was adding these lines to .profile:

export LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=hu_HU.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=hu_HU.UTF-8
