Boricua:

Were you able to figure out your language problem? I myself added a second language (also Spanish, but Dominican Republic Spanish) when I first installed CentOS 4. When I run the language settings from the menus I actually see the two languages ('Spanish - Dominican Republic' and 'English - USA').

I did a little research and found that there is a directory called /usr/lib/locale/ (part of the glibc-common package) in which there a bunch of other language locales. I think the ones you'd be looking for are the directories '/usr/lib/locale/es_PR/' and '/usr/lib/locale/se_PR.utf8/'.

But to have the system use these locales (and have them included in the language list). You would also have to look at the file '/etc/sysconfig/i18n'. Here's what mine looks like:

--------------------/etc/sysconfig/i18n------------------------- LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:es_DO.UTF-8:es_DO:es" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" -------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see the 'SUPPORTED' definition includes two entries, one for English, 'en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en', and one for Spanish 'es_DO.UTF-8:es_DO:es'. You might add something similar to my Spanish entry in your '/etc/sysconfig/i18n' file (use PR instead of DO in the Spanish entry). I think this should do the trick for you.

I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you with an answer, but I just figured it out. If you have it figured out just ignore the e-mail. Good luck.
