Re: localised office setup, how?

Hi Yoshihiro Kawamata,

Thanks for these pointers. The "-i18n" string is a great hint, using that I could https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.9/packages/amd64/ verify that many packages split of their localization in a package named like that.
In the pkg-readme for gnome I could find this:
"GDM greeter language and character set is configured in:
    /etc/gdm/locale.conf
Note that the variables set in this file will be inherited by the user session.
They can be unset/overriden in the user's .profile file"
There are no "-i18n" files for gnome packages, but looking into nautilus-3.38.2.tgz/share/locale <http://nautilus-3.38.2.tgz/share/locale> it looks like gnome packages include localized strings.

Great, so it seems like what I want is indeed possible and easily available, so it's time to do it.
Thanks again,
if anybody has more tips related to this, I would be happy to read them.

Regards,
Mashle
