If this is too far off topic please let me know and I'll send this to the Gnome list or something. Today I recently had a thai friend want to experience linux. Their limitation is language of course. I set up an account for my friend and had them log in after changing through GDM their language preferences to Thai. The Thai language shows up for me when I log in as the user on the machine. I read several posts notably the following: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2006-August/003967.html I attempted to accomplish this with those instructions and end up with a whole lot of fail. I assume I am misunderstanding something very basic because the user still is presented with an English desktop when they login through nx. I also tried the following trick of editing their ~/.dmrc to provide the language environment, but unless you login through gdm (as I read from google searches) this file is skipped. Has anyone encountered this and come up with a solution? Or is there a way to refine my google search in some way to provide better information for me? I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
