Once done, you can choose it from the “Device language” list of the “Language & region” applet.

add new languages to device

1. install extra locales, got from garage.maemo.org/projects/locales-extras
2. add the country code to gconf configuration database, e.g.

# gconftool-2 --set /apps/osso/applet/languageregional/available_languages \
    --type=list --list-type=string "[zh_CN]"

an alternative way to do this is using gconf-editor.

of course, the text of UI need to be translated to this new language.
