Solution to ubuntu language problems

Ubuntu is too closely connected with the network. During installation, some software packages are automatically downloaded. For example, when 7.04 is installed in a Chinese language, it usually takes a long time to install it to 92%, you may even think that the installation program has crashed. In fact, it is not. It is the language package used by the installer to download and install the Chinese environment. If the network is not connected at the time of installation, although the system can display Chinese characters normally, but first, the text on the logon interface is displayed in the user name, password, options, and other prompts, none of which are displayed in Chinese, although the date display shows that Ubuntu is too closely related to the network, some software packages will be automatically downloaded during installation. For example, when 7.04 is installed in a Chinese language, it may take a long time to install 92%. You may even think that the installation program is dead. In fact, it is not. It is the installer who downloads and installs the language package related to the Chinese environment.

If the network is not connected at the time of installation, although the system can display Chinese characters normally, but first, the text on the logon interface is displayed in the user name, password, options, and other prompts, none of which are displayed in Chinese, although the date display contains Chinese characters such as "month" and "day", the text of the "application", "location", and "system" menu buttons on the panel is in English, although the Sub-menu will display Chinese characters normally, the third reason is that you cannot enter Chinese characters because scim is not installed. Even if you set the default language to Chinese in "language support", it will not help.

In this case, you need to download the relevant language package for installation by "system" => "system Management" => "Language Support". In this case, you are required to enter the password, in fact, it is the user and password you need to enter when installing the system. After you set the default language to Chinese, the program will automatically detect the required package and download and install it. This may take some time, depending on the network condition and the hardware configuration of the machine. Then you can display the top-level menu on the panel and use scim to enter Chinese.
