1.6 Language

YaST and openSUSE in general can be configured to use different languages according to your needs. The language selected here is also used for the keyboard layout. In addition, YaST uses the language setting to guess a time zone for the system clock. These settings can be modified later along with the selection of secondary languages to install on your system. This dialog is not available when installing from CD-KDE and CD-GNOME—only English is available on these media.

You can change the language later during installation in the Installation Summary, described in Section 1.12, Installation Settings. For information about language settings in the installed system, see Section 6.0, Changing Language and Country Settings with YaST.
