Can anybody inform me how to switch language in Lubuntu? I went to "Keyboard and Mouse Settings" as well as "Language Support" but couldn't find any solutions.

I have recently upgraded my PC from Lubuntu 14.10 to 15.10. Before the upgrade my keyboard layout matched my Danish keyboard. But after the upgrade I probably have a standard English/US layout.   Preferences/Language Support, doesn't let me configure the keyboard layout. Preferences/Keyboard and Mouse, only let me configure stroking delay and similar.    I don't know about iBus and fcitx, as far as the tooltip infomation tells me, its for more complex languages such as Chinese.  I don't have a US icon in the taskbar, no keyboard and/or language icon at all.  Things I have tried:   Running the following in a terminal works, but only until the next reboot:  setxkbmap -layout dk  I got the following parameter in the file /etc/default/keyboard:  XKBLAYOUT="dk"  Installing and running the app Lxkeymap changes the keyboard to Danish when I run it, but rebooting will change the layout back to US.   I don't want anything fancy, I just want to set my keyboard layout to Danish. How can I do that?

I'm loving Lubuntu so far, but I have been noticing certain problem with some applications, mainly VirtualBox.  Basically, even though my system is set in English (US) with regional settings in Spanish (AR), when I open VirtualBox it displays all the UI in Greek characters. Not in Greek, though -- it just displays the English text but using Greek characters. I have tried switching VirtualBox's language to Spanish and relaunching the program, and the same happens -- it displays the Spanish text but using Greek.   Here you can see what I mean:     It also happened with other applications downloaded from the Lubuntu Software Center, such as Wine Launcher Creator. I guess it's an encoding problem? I tried googling it but all the answers I find deal with language settings, which clearly isn't the problem here, since the program is in fact displayed in the language I want -- it's the way the characters are displayed that isn't right.

The aftermarket ROM I use seems to have the language list parred down to just a couple selections, probably to save space.  I would like to add a language back into the system. I can already set the locale using programs such as  so that applications with my language support start with the right locale code, however that doesn't add missing system languages. Having the system in another language would be nice, but the main thing is getting the dictionary files for the keyboard auto-complete. How does one go about adding the language support files for an input language to a system or ROM?  I can access other ROM's or the AOSP project to rip things out, but I don't know where to start. What files do I need and what modifications need to be made? Is there an easy way to do this with say a language-pack or is it hackery all the way?  My ROM is fully rooted and I have adb access if necessary. It's Android 2.3.7 () and I'm using the stock Android keyboard. The language I want is Turkish, although unless somebody has a download to point me to it's mostly the process I'm looking for here.

Is there any way to set keyboard shortcuts to quickly change to a different language/keyboard layout? The old shortcuts still seem to work (when set back in Windows 7), but I can't seem to find anything to change it in Windows 10.

Removed it from System Preferences &gt; Keyboard. No go. Remapped ⌘ Cmd to be Ctrl. No go. Ripping out the ⌘ Cmd key shouldn't be the solution. Anyone?...

I see an empty drop down box where the language code of the  should be.  To reproduce the bug: Lock screen or log out and log in again.    I also get the same behavior on the lock screen at the time when I try to log in with my password:    After I tried the workaround (below) the language code on the login screen disappeared as soon as I typed the first character of my password.  Workaround (not permanent): Switching with keyboard (Super+space) or mouse.  System info: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, GNOME 3.28.2.    Please  if also affects you.

In general what is the approach to switch the desktop environment or window manager on Ubuntu? The main difference between stock Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Lubuntu is supposedly the use of Unity vs. KDE vs. LXDE.  However, in order to try various desktop environments and window managers I don't want to have to reinstall the respective flavor from scratch just to get a particular desktop environments or window manager. There probably is an easier method than that.  The question: How can I easily test different desktop environments and respective compatible window managers (say KDE, LXDE, Unity, GNOME, XFCE and StumpWM)?

With English not being my first language, I usually need support for at least two languages when using features like auto-correct and dictation.  Is it possible to toggle the language which is used for dictation via a shortcut?  As of now, I always have to manually navigate through the menus in the System Preferences which if far from convenient. I've tried to see if there are any pre-defined actions in Automator, but found none.

I have used  ever since to install different Linux versions to USB flash drive. But now with Lubuntu 12.04 even though I do the same process by selecting persistence file, it gets created but is never used in Lubuntu. Every time I boot into Lubuntu on flash, it is fresh new Lubuntu without my changes I did last time I have booted it.  Anyone can help me or give me some hints ? Thanks in advance.

There were a set of extra steps I needed to take with Ubuntu 14.04 that got Japanese text input working, but the same steps seem to not apply to 16.04.  The system toggles between "En" and "Ja", but all it's doing (functionally) is switching from an English keyboard layout to a Japanese keyboard layout.  I installed in English with my location in Japan, which triggered Japanese language support (which isn't working).  I also tried a clean install in Japanese that installed all menus, etc. in Japanese, but also had non-functional Japanese input, so I did a third install in English again - with Japan as the local - which is where I stand now with it.  Any help with this issue greatly appreciated, as I need to be able to input Japanese text.
