To configure your system with support for an additional language (using Dutch as an example) and set up standard user directories with appropriate icons, follow these steps during the installation process:

1. Language Settings

By default, UK English is selected. To add US English and another language (e.g. Dutch nl_NL.UTF-8):

Open the terminal. Run the following command to reconfigure locales:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
In the list that appears, use the arrow keys to navigate and the spacebar to select the desired locales:

Code:

en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8nl_NL.UTF-8 UTF-8
Replace n or nl_NL.UTF-8 with the appropriate locale code for your desired language.

After selecting, press Enter.

When prompted to select the default system locale, choose the desired locale e.g., n or nl_NL.UTF-8) and press Enter.

This process generates the selected locales and sets the chosen language as the default system language.

2. Creating Standard Folders

GNOME-core may not create all standard user directories by default. To add these directories with names in your chosen language and appropriate icons:

Open the terminal.

Create the standard directories:

Code:

mkdir -p ~/Bureaublad ~/Documenten ~/Downloads ~/Muziek ~/Afbeeldingen ~/Video's ~/Openbaar ~/Sjablonen
Replace the directory names with the appropriate translations in your chosen language.

Set the paths for these directories by editing the user-dirs.dirs file:

Code:

nano ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
Modify the file to include the following lines:

Code:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Bureaublad"XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documenten"XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Muziek"XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Afbeeldingen"XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Video's"XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Openbaar"XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Sjablonen"
Replace the directory names with the appropriate translations in your chosen language.

Save and exit the editor (in nano, press Ctrl+O to save and Ctrl+X to exit).

This configuration sets up the standard user directories with names in your chosen language and ensures they are recognized by the system.

3. Installing LibreOffice with Language Support

To install LibreOffice along with support for your chosen language (e.g., Dutch):

Open the terminal. Run the following command:

Code:

sudo apt install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress libreoffice-gtk3 libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-style-* libreoffice-help-nl libreoffice-l10n-nl hyphen-nl hunspell-nl
Replace the -nl packages with the appropriate language codes for your chosen language.

This command installs LibreOffice and adds language support, including help files, localization, hyphenation rules, and spell-checking capabilities. By following these steps during the installation process, your system will be configured with support for your chosen language, standard user directories with appropriate icons, and a fully localized LibreOffice suite.
