2008-06-19 14:05:12 Pete Goodall description I recently changed the default language of my desktop to be Chinese in order to test Chinese support. Now when I go back to the Language Selector and try to change it back to English I cannot tell which selection is English because all the language names are written in Chinese characters. To be more specific, I mean the language selection drop-down near the bottom of the dialog, not the list of available languages above. If I chose another language from the list the display does not change, so cannot even cyle through the choices to get the right one. In order for the changes to take effect I must reboot everytime. This is going to take a long time. :-( I recently changed the default language of my desktop to be Chinese in order to test Chinese support.

This is going to take a long time. :-( It would be nice if all languages were written in their native character (to the extent that the character is installed on the system). I believe this is how the language selection works in the oem-config-gtk package.
