1. How Install Ubuntu On Windows

Hi, to completely change your system language from one to another; go to Control Center Personal 'Language Support' then click on Install/Remove languages, make sure that the only language in the list is the one you want, example: English. Take the tick out of any unwanted languages and leave only one tick in English!!

This is my own guide using German as my example. Open language support in the Systems Settings menu and click on ' Install/Remove Languages' then put a tick in the box for German, at the same time, take out the tick for the English language.

If you only want extra language support but still want your system in English, open Synaptic and type 'libreoffice french' or whatever language packages you need and select and install the results that show up. This will add language support for Libreoffice so you can type in languages other than English! Keyboard input method system For languages with complicated symbols like Chinese/Vietnamese/Japanese etc, it is recommended you set 'Keyboard input method system' to ' IBus'. There is also an IBus tool in: Control Center Other Ibus Preferences.
