[SOLVED] How to change system language to Portuguese?

Hello friends, I'm really enjoying this distro, I would like to know how to configure my keyboard for Portuguese from Brazil, how can I leave the system in my language?
Thank you and congratulations for the work.

[SOLVED] Switching the "default language"

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

There is also

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

If this works for you, then please edit the title of your first post, and add [SOLVED]

Re: [SOLVED] How to change system language to Portuguese?

When you do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales"

You want to select: pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8

and for sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
1. choose your actual keyboard if available.
2. choose: Portuguese (Brazil)

and try the various options after that:

 Please select the layout matching the keyboard for this machine.
       
 Keyboard layout:      
              
      Portuguese (Brazil)        
      Portuguese (Brazil) - Esperanto (Brazil, Nativo)      
      Portuguese (Brazil) - Portuguese (Brazil, Dvorak)     
      Portuguese (Brazil) - Portuguese (Brazil, eliminate dead keys) 
      Portuguese (Brazil) - Portuguese (Brazil, Nativo)     
      Portuguese (Brazil) - Portuguese (Brazil, Nativo for US keyboards)      
      Other 

I have a Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro - Latin America Version and I choose that keyboard and the
Spanish (Latin American) and just keep hitting enter for the following options.

You may have to choose something other than the defaults.
Boa sorte

I just could not activate capslock

Edit the file at ~/.config/openbox/autostart and remove line 35:

setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps

https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … ostart#L35

Then log out & back in again to effect the change.

Ohhhh, not using the original openbox autostart file I totally missed that.
