Re: Non-English languages?

To add a different keyboard layout in GNOME (linux) (system-wide), go
System, Preferences, Keyboard. On the layout tab, configure as you
ike. Then, right click on a panel (task bar, top screen bar), choose
Add to Panel, and add the Keyboard Indicator, which lets you switch your
layouts. The SCIM Input Method Setup might also be of interest to you.

AbiWord will match your system language for interfaces.

Hope this helps!
