Comment Multilingual Support in Linux vs XP (Score 1) 193
I first must say that using Linux maybe not quite as easy as XP but, its pretty close. It just takes a bit of learning, maybe slightly more time than learning XP however.
Multilingual support in XP stinks... If you want an English system plus a Chinese system for example... its just not possible.
In Linux however, I have my account in English, but I have set it up where my girlfriend (who is Taiwanese) can log in and everything is in Chinese. All the menus, help docs.... everything! On top of that setting up Chinese input is a breezeat least in SuSE). The same applies to other languages as well. I just set up a French version for a friend of mine. Again, both in English and French.
Thats very forward thinking!
