It just installs required packages and set the root user language. I find this tool useful where you don't need to find particular fonts or input methods explicitly and install them. Good for novice users. GNOME language support is a different from system-config-language. The problem is that system-config-language is completely broken since > F18 (see [1] because it didn't reflect changes in language groups. > system-config-language is used to install language support that includes fonts, input-method engine and any other packages listed for that language group in comps file. Since comps moved to start using yum-langpacks and few language support groups have been removed, system-config-language failed to install support for those languages. If we decide to re-write this tool for yum-langpacks then other packages will not get pulled automatically which have been explicitly listed in comps for some languages. I still have not got solution on how to balance this in system-config-language. > So if there is no spin using it, we should probably remove it from > Fedora because in the current state, it's completely broken and useless. > > If there is still need for the utility, then it probably should be > fixed. > I am looking into fixing system-config-language but not sure how much time will it take. > BTW what are recommended ways to install language support in e.g. KDE > and Xfce?
