<title>Install languages</title>
20
<p>When you install Ubuntu, the language you select at installation gets
21
installed together with English, but you can add further languages.</p>
25
<p>Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select
26
<gui>System Settings</gui>.</p>
29
<p>In the Personal section, click <gui>Language Support</gui>.</p>
32
<p>Click <gui>Install / Remove Languages...</gui>. The
33
<gui>Installed Languages</gui> window lists all the available
34
languages, with the currently installed languages checked.</p>
37
<p>Check the languages you want to install, and uncheck those
38
currently installed languages you want to remove.</p>
41
<p>Click <gui>Apply Changes</gui>.</p>

are required. Enter your password, or the password for the requested
46

50
<p>In addition to the translations used to display menus and messages,
51
with a new language may follow various language support components such
52
as dictionaries for spell checking, fonts and input methods.</p>
55
<p>Some translations may be incomplete, and certain applications may
56
not support your language at all.</p>
