Updated directions after issue pointed out below. These steps work to install multi-language support in to UberStudent 2.0 Lightweight.I did a clean install of the Lightweight Edition and did the following things to transform almost everything in to Dutch language.
The same steps apply to installing any language.Steps to Switch Languages in UberStudent Lightweight Edition1. Boot in to the system.
2. Open a terminal and input the following and run it:
Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall locales lxpanel lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin pcmanfm lightdm-gtk-greeter lxsession
And then:
Code:
sudo apt-get install xdg-user-dirs-gtk localization-config
3. Go to
Applications → Preferences → Language Support → Install / Remove Languages ... and tick the box for the language you wish to install, and then click 'Apply Changes' and input your password. This will install a bunch of packages for support of that language.
4. Once the language pack installations complete, find the grayed-out language you just installed and click on it and drag it upward, all the way to the top of the available languages, and drop it there. This will turn the text of that language black. Then click 'Apply System Wide.' Then in the tab 'Regional Formats' apply the setting for dates and numbers for your language.

5. Go to
Applications → System Tools → UberStudent Control Center → Autostart and tick
User folders update so it starts at startup.
6. Now log out and log back in.
7. After you log in, a dialog will open from xdg-user-dirs-gtk, which you installed and made autorun at startup above, asking you if you want to create home directories in your language. If you choose so, it will make the directories. Now,
first move any old files from the old directories in to the new ones for your language (!) and then simply delete the English directories manually.
8.
Done. The result:
Caveats1. A variety of programs may not have language support for your language. If you think a program
ought but the translations are not appearing, search in Synaptic for a language pack for the program and install it. If no language pack appears, try reinstalling the program itself. Then log out and log back in. If neither works, then that program has not yet been translated in to your language. You might consider helping the developer in that regard.
2. It should work just fine, but I have not tested app2menu with menus in a language other than English.
3. The Applications and Places menus will not change languages, because they are SVG images that are part of the default theme. The menu images are located at
/usr/share/themes/A+DarkSilver/menu-bg/. You can copy the images somwhere to your home directory and then open them in a program such as Inkscape and edit/translate them, if you wish. Then move the images back with a new name, and change the images from the panel. If you do that,
email the translated images to UberStudent so they can be considered for inclusion in the next release.
4. When later installing new packages, if you get a perl warning about locales,
take these steps.
