How to add another language ?

#1 Post by Evogel »

Hi everybody !

I just downloaded Puppy and is very impressed ! Outstanding distro ! The only thing that I really miss a lot is russian (my native) language. I can read documents in russian, but I can't get how to type in russian. When I switch to russian un keyboard wizard, nothing happens... I still can't type in russian in Abiword, gnumeric etc... What should I do ?

Thanks in advance.
