This section includes information on language support under Fedora.
Localization (translation) of Fedora is coordinated by the Fedora Localization Project.
Internationalization of Fedora is maintained by the Fedora I18n Project.
23.1. Language Coverage
Fedora features a variety of software which is translated in many languages. For a list of languages refer to the translation statistics for Anaconda, which is one of the core software applications in Fedora.
23.1.1. Language Support Installation
To install additional language support from the Languages group, use → , or run this command:
su -c "yum groupinstall language-support"
In the command above, language is one
of assamese, bengali,
chinese, gujarati,
hindi, japanese,
kannada, korean,
malayalam, marathi,
oriya, punjabi,
sinhala, tamil,
thai, or telegu.
SCIM users upgrading from earlier releases of Fedora are strongly urged to install scim-bridge-gtk . This application works well with third-party C++ applications linked against older versions of libstdc++ .
To add SCIM support to input a particular language, install
scim-lang-LANG ,
where LANG is one of
assamese, bengali,
chinese, dhivehi,
farsi, gujarati,
hindi, japanese,
kannada, korean,
latin, malayalam,
marathi, oriya,
punjabi, sinhalese,
tamil, telugu,
thai, or tibetan.
23.1.2. Transifex
Transifex is Fedora's online tool to facilitate contributing translations to projects hosted on remote and disparate version control systems. Many of the core packages use Transifex to receive translations from numerous contributors.
Through a combination of new Web tools, community growth, and better processes, translators can contribute directly to any upstream project through one translator-oriented Web interface. Developers of projects with no existing translation community can easily reach out to Fedora's established community for translations. In turn, translators can reach out to numerous projects related to Fedora to easily contribute translations.
23.2. Fonts
Fonts for all available languages are installed by default on the desktop to give good default language coverage. dejavu-fonts replaces dejavu-lgc-fonts as the default system font.
