In my current desktop is supported 3 language pack: English, Russian and Ukrainian.

But when another users is going to his account works only one - English.

And any choice to change language or install new language pack.

I tried did this through:

sudo apt-get install language-support-ua

or according this manual deb Linux: How to add support for Bulgarian, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Macedonian, Bosnian language cyrillic localization to Xfce, GNOME, KDE Desktop.

But resalt always looks like next:

nazar_art@nazar-desctop:/home/andriy$ sudo aptitude install language-support-ru

Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "language-support-ru"

Why this happen?

When I'm going as root all 3 language are active but from another account only one by default and any chance to changing it. Furthermore, doesn't exist language flag at the right up corner.

• How to solve this trouble?


• Or how to make language support accessible for all users?
