Please choose a language to use
Select your preferred language, by first expanding the list for
your continent. Mageia will use this selection during the installation
and for your installed system.
If it is likely that you (or others) will require several
languages to be installed on your system, then you should use the
Multiple languages
option to add them now. It will
be difficult to add extra language support after installation.
Important
Even if you choose more than one language, you must first choose one
as your preferred language from the main list of languages. It will also
be marked as chosen in the
Multiple languages
screen.
If your keyboard language is not the same as your preferred
language, then it is advisable to install the required language for your
keyboard as well
Mageia uses UTF-8 (Unicode) support by default. This may be
disabled in the
Multiple languages
screen if you
know that it is inappropriate for your language. Disabling UTF-8 applies
to all installed languages.
You can change the language for your system post-installation in
the
Mageia Control Center
System
