Chapter 1. Introduction
This guide explains how to use international languages supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. It explains how to:
- install the packages that are required to support your language, such as fonts to display its characters and input methods.
- set the language so that used applications will run and appear in the chosen language.
- configure the keyboard in order to input your language correctly.
- use the SCIM input method for Asian languages.
