[Software] Italian language on gnome

#1 Post by K-Line »

hello

I've installed debian 11 with Gnome 3.38.5 on my vmware machine
I'm trying to change the language from the default english to italian but if I go to settings -> region & language and I click on language then the three dots I can't find any other languages avaiable and if I try to search for any other languages nothing comes up :?

second question is how to add my user to the sudoers since everytime I try to do any sudo command I got that warning ?

Thanks!

The wiki is your friend - https://wiki.debian.org/sudo/

TL:DR:

Code: Select all

$ su -
Password: (enter here the password of the root user that you specified during your Debian installation, and press Enter)

Code: Select all

# apt install sudo

# adduser your-username sudo
I don't use Gnome so can't help with that. Maybe this - https://wiki.debian.org/ChangeLanguage

I don't use Gnome or Italian language, but ChatGPT says this:
Open the "Settings" application by clicking on the Activities menu at the top left of the screen and then selecting the gear icon.

In the Settings window, scroll down and click on the "Region & Language" option.

In the Region & Language window, click on the "+" button under the "Input Sources" section.

In the "Choose an Input Source" dialog box, type "Italian" in the search bar, and then select "Italian (Italy)" from the list of options.

Click the "Add" button to add the Italian language to your input sources.

If you want to make Italian the default language for your system, click on the "Manage Installed Languages" button at the bottom of the window.

In the Language Support window, select "Italian" from the list of languages and click the "Apply System-Wide" button to apply the changes.

You may be prompted to enter your password to make the changes.

After the changes are applied, you may need to log out and log back in for the language settings to take effect.

Once you have completed these steps, your Gnome desktop environment should be set to use the Italian language.

# nano /etc/locale.gen
uncomment

Code: Select all

# it_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8
or

Code: Select all

# it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8
depending on whether you want to enable Swiss or Italian Italian

save and run

Code: Select all

# locale-gen
should do it.

You need to enable the language system wide before Gnome can change it. See post #5.

It could be because it's a VM.

See this for explanation - [FAQ] "Command not found" when using su
locale-gen is in /usr/sbin
