Can't switch language

[NewGuy]

Hi there, i'm having problems changing KDE language...i know this may sound plain stupid but i can't manage by the "System Settings/Regional & Accessibility / Country-Region & Language" panel.
(the "country or region" field is set to my native language but in the "add language" label only US english is available)
Hope somebody will help,
Adios

Warnings: (i) I'm a newbie too and I don't know what I'm talking about; (ii) my system is now in Japanese and I therefore don't know offhand what the relevant English names are. With those out of the way:

Look instead within System|Language support (or similar). You'll see a list of languages. When I first looked at this, it was very short and didn't include "Japanese". When I looked two days later, it was very much longer and did include "Japanese". If this list doesn't include the language you want, sacrifice two goats to Linus Torv -- sorry, I mean I really don't know (Did I say I was a newbie?) but I think you have to open yourself up to more software repositories. If the language you want does appear, put a checkmark next to it. If you want to change KDE language to it, I suppose it must be the default language.

If anyone disagrees with me, they're right and I'm wrong.

You're quite correct

For a language to be available (in Systemsettings)...you have to install the appropiate language-packs.

You can do this easily with the language-selector, which you can start from the K-menu or with
1. Press Alt+F2
2. Type qt-language-selector
3. Press Enter
