My only problem, I can not find the language packs for past Vectorlinux in my language. For me it's in French but there are also other language. Can you describe the procedure in a topic.
For people want translate fast.. Just add a depot of slackware, reload and find xfce language pack. Clic and install
thank you
The depot of slackware sounds like a good suggestion for translation. Also, Vector Linux does have different language packs installed. To see which ones, run the following command:
locale -a
Specifically French locales can be seen by the following:
mark:$ locale -a | grep fr
fr_BE
fr_BE.utf8
fr_BE@euro
fr_CA
fr_CA.utf8
fr_CH
fr_CH.utf8
fr_FR
fr_FR.utf8
fr_FR@euro
fr_LU
fr_LU.utf8
fr_LU@euro

I think that fr_CA is Canadian French, whereas fr_FR is French from France (not sure about the "fr_FR@euro" -- maybe covers some of the other European nations that have French as one of their languages).
Anyway, to change the current setting from en_US to fr_CA, open the file /etc/profile.d/lang.sh, find the line where it says "en_US", comment this out ("#en_US"), and underneath type in fr_CA (or whichever French you want, IE, fr_FR).
For example, the file will have two lines like this:
# en_US is the Slackware default locale:
export LANG=en_US
So, just comment out the en_US line and substitute it with fr_CA:
# en_US is the Slackware default locale:
#export LANG=en_US
export LANG=fr_CA
Many of the programs, like Abiword, will then be in French.
PS, you may need to restart the machine to see the effect of the locale change.
