    Language Support

    Uhm, I have a question about the languages... How do I modify the language so that I am going to type in my native support (for instance, Macedonian) using a certain font, arial maybe ?

    To reformulate my question, what is the equivalent command in Linux of the "Alt + Shift" command in Windows ?

    I've only recently installed openSUSE on my PC, but I can tell you that to change pretty much any system-related stuff, simply run YaST, which can be accessed from the openSuse menu (Utilities/System under Apps)
    Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

    Look, the option I got in Yast is to change the regional settings. That means that the whole operating system will change the language, for instance using my native language.

    But you misunderstood the problem. I need an equivalent command of the Windows' Alt + Shift in order to switch the language of the typing.

    EXAMPLE:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    [now I am in Windows]
    I am writing in Arial Font in English!
    [Alt + Shift]
    Сега пишувам на македонски
    [Alt + Shift]
    Again, I switched the languages and I am now writing in English
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    What is the equivalent command of the Windows' Alt + Shift ?

    which desktop environment are you using?
    in GNOME, System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layout Options > Group Shift/Lock behavior.
    select what preset key combination you want to use. default is set to pressing the both ALT keys.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Thank You

    Now it works perfectly for me...

    Here are some sentences in Macedonian Language Support as gratefulness...

    Фала ти многу за тоа што несебично и брзо ми помогна...
    Моќта е во знаењето....
    Сподели го своето знаење...
    За да го споделиме светот....
