Setting up Webconverger for your locale

Specify them on the boot parameter prompt.

For example British English configurations:

live locale=uk or live locale=en_GB.UTF-8 keyb=uk

For setting during a Debian-Live build option set config/binary like so:

    LIVE_BOOTAPPEND="locale=en_GB.UTF-8 keyb=uk"

or

    LIVE_BOOTAPPEND="locale=uk"

Sometimes a two letter shorthand for some locales (please test) may work for you.

Chinese support example

When Webconverger maxi initially boots up, these is a short delay when one can enter additional commands on the boot parameter.

Entering live locale=zh_CN.UTF-8 keyb=zh as this picture demonstrates, sets up Webconverger for the Chinese locale.

Webconverger boot options for chinese support

Once booted in Chinese, or Japanese and Korean environments CONTROL+SPACE allows to switch between keyboard input modes via scim.

Please give feedback about anything. If you don’t like the font or see some other rendering problem, I am very interested to solve these problems.
