5. National Language Support

To National Language Support (suvtomografia NLS) eivai mia duvatotnta pou exouv ta pio polla UNIX, wste va evnmerwvovtai oi efarmoges gia tis glwssikes ru8miseis tou xrnstn kai va parousiazouv ta muvnmata tous stnv avtistoixn glwssa.

To NLS xrnsimopoieitai apo polla GNU tools, eidika auta pou trexouv se periballov grammns evtolwv (Command Line Interface - CLI, dnladn to gvwsto prompt), kai upostnrizetai prosfata kai sto grafiko periballov (px KDE).
