Language Support

Maemo platform doesn't support every language Canola is translated. Since Canola relies on Maemo, actually GNU/LibC, to select and use languages, you need to add support for these missing languages before being able to use them.

There are two category of missing support:

Language is not available on Control Panel > Language & Region. Danish, Dutch, Finnish and Russian.
Language is not supported at all. Catalan, Galician, Hungarian, Polish and Serbian. These are the most problematic and requires Maemo development platform (scratchbox with rootstrap setup).

Supported but not listed

Danish (language-code: da_DA)
Dutch (language-code: nl_NL)
Finnish (language-code: fi_FI)
Russian (language-code: ru_RU)

You just have to set environment variable LC_MESSAGES=code. You can do this by creating the file /home/user/.canola/environment. For example, Russian (ru_RU) would be:

export LC_MESSAGES=ru_RU

Unsupported by Maemo

Catalan
Galician
Hungarian
Polish
Serbian

In addition to previous step you also need to have scratchbox setup and follow the great tutorial at wolfg's blog - How to add new locale to Nokia 770.
