💖 gnome-language-selector(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about a little icon of a command called gnome-language-selector. she lives in section 1 of the manual (that's the "general commands" girlies, iykyk) and she's here to make your whole system speak your language. literally. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

gnome-language-selector — graphical language selection utility 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gnome-language-selector [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. no cap. 🎀

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so gnome-language-selector is a graphical utility, which is a fancy way of saying she has a window and buttons and she's cute about it. what she does is let you:

• set a default language for the system interface (aka the vibe your menus and buttons speak in)
• add additional language packs
• add spelling tools
• add additional fonts

basically she's the main character of "make my computer talk like me," and she ate. 🔥

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic "what do you do again?" button. no judgement. 🫶
• -n, --no-verify-installed-lang-support — do not verify installed language support. she just… skips the check. she trusts you. 🙈
• -d DATADIR, --datadir=DATADIR — use an alternative data directory instead of the default /usr/share/language-selector. so instead of raiding the usual closet, she goes shopping in your closet. DATADIR is a placeholder, bestie — swap in the real path. ✨
