Hi, Thanks to all who are helping me out. another thing--> I have installed Redhat 10, and when i installed the redhat , I also checked Urdu language locales, but these are not installed, now when i look in CDs there is no RPM for urdu locales. Would you please tell me where to find these locales package, or how to install these locales. In debian i used the command "sudo dpkg-recofigure localse", and then i checked urdu and it was installed, and when i logged on again, i chose urdu and urdu was enabled and translations were being shown. but this command does not run in REDHAT , please tell me the right way so that my translated ".mo" files could be active, and i could see urdu in menus.
