Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the documentation I read this means chang=
e
the WHOLE programs (e.g.: gnome etc.) default language into the other
language. What I want is the ability to change language on the fly, like
when I create a presentation, I want to be able to write in English and als=
o
another language (e.g: chinese).

Is my assumption above is correct? If not, kindly enough to enlighten me
with the correct manual pages and/or handbook section to do the above.

TIA
