HOW TO CONVERT KURUMIN TO ENGLISH 

(by roadrash)


1. After installing Kurumin, open a terminal and type "su" and <return> and enter the root password.

2. type "apt-get update" <return>

3. type "apt-get install locales" <return> & then answer "S"

4. Once downloaded a "configuring locales" dialogue window will open
Just press <return>

5. Another window will open with a list of available locales. Scroll down the list, using the cursor keys 
and pressing the space bar to mark each locale you want to install.

e.g for english/British, mark "en_GB iso-8859-1", "en_GB.iso-8859-15" and "en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8" for 
english/US, mark "en_US iso-8859-1", "en_US.iso-8859-15" and "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8".
to finish, use Tab key to move to "OK" and press <return>

6. In the next window move the bar down to highlight either en_GB or en_US and press <return>. The 
locales will now be installed to the system.

7. Back in the "Konsole, Type "kedit" <return> to run an editor. now edit the file /etc/environment and 
change all instances of pr_BR to en_UK or en_US

8. now edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n in the same way and change the line country=br to either

country=gb or us

9. open "centro de controle KDE" (5th large icon from left), select "regional and acessibilidade" and 
set all the locales to either UK or US.

10. If you want to remove Portuguese support on KDE, run:

sudo apt-get remove kde-i18n-ptbr 

11. Now reboot the system and everything should be in english.

Most menus and dialogues should now be in english, but some of the application names in the K 
menu will have been entered in Portugese so you will need to use Kmenu editor to change these 
to english manualy. I notice mozilla firebird menus are still in Portugese but this may be because 
it is a portugese version thats installed. 

To install the Enghish version of Mozilla-Firefox, run:

sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox

To open firefox after intalation, run "firefox" in a terminal.
