<p>Thanks Shankar</p>
<p>In the meanwhile, I came across the following commands in some
forum:</p>
<p># Find PO files, process each with msgfmt and rename the result
into filename.MO<br>
</p>
<p>for file in `find . -name "*.po"` ; do msgfmt -o `echo $file |
sed 's/\.po$/.mo/'` $file ; done<br>
</p>
<p># Move the files to the right folder under /usr/share<br>
</p>
<p>sudo find . -iname '*.mo' -exec mv '{}'
/usr/share/locale/kn/LC_MESSAGES/ \;<br>
</p>
<p>I have executed the above commands on the po files that I have
synced from the KDE kannada website (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://i18n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=kn"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://i18n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=kn</a>).
<br>
</p>
<p>After running the above commands, I am able to get the window
language in kannada, for applications that are run using the
following command (as root):</p>
<p>KDE_LANG=kn <application></p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>KDE_LANG=kn kwrite<br>
</p>
<p>However, there are some situations which are not applications
that can be called. For example, the menu that appears when we
right click on the desktop. What should be done in that case?</p>
<p>Thanks and Regards,</p>

<div>Hi Suchendra,<br>
<br>
</div>
To display any linux application in Kannada (or any
language other that En) you need to create an .mo (machine
object) file from .po (portable object) file and place
them under "/usr/share/locale/kn/LC_MESSAGES". <br>
<br>
</div>
For example for gedit, the locale file should be gedit.mo
and placed under above mentioned directory.<br>
<br>
</div>
To generate .mo file you can use msgfmt tool or poedit<br>
<br>
