Multilingual Kernel! |
Localization was implemented when computers were distributed in non-English countries to aid the users in using their computers in their native language. This feature is currently supported in both Windows and Unix-based operating systems.
However, Linux boot messages don't get localized unless the localization is set, which is done in the middle of the boot process. This simulator attempts to localize the boot messages in the start of the process.
You can set the language using the settings command under the General section. Any language changes will be saved to the configuration file.
Languages usually get translated at the end of each development period of each upcoming kernel version. It's normal to see untranslated strings. If you still see these untranslated strings in the final version, report them to us using this page.
{% hint style="info" %} Extra languages are bundled as a kernel extras addon. {% endhint %}
To change the simulated kernel language, follow these steps:
- Log-in to the system account, root, or any of the administrators or users that has at least the settings management permission
- Execute the
settingscommand, go toGeneral, and go toLanguage - Select a new language
{% hint style="info" %} Note that your account must have either the administrative permissions enabled or the settings management permission granted to be able to use this command. {% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Additionally, you can change the language using the chlang command with the ability to change your preferred user language using the -user switch.
You can also use this command with the -usesyslang switch to change your kernel language to a language that Nitrocid detects based on your UI language set by your operating system.
