When Entrance starts, my graphic environment is in english. There's no proviision to set locale like in gdm?

You have to edit the theme to change the language.

So you'll have to decompile the theme, change all the strings to say what you want them to say, and maybe edit some of the images.

Are you saying that Entrance does not support localisations AT ALL!?!

Well, this is the death warrant. It's a shame because it really is nice eye candy, but not having the possibility of configuring your own language without heavy programming is a pikkle.

I guess the point of having the themes in self-contained files (like default.eet) is that the theme can be modified into different languages and then you can choose which one to load.

But nobody's done it, so you're stuck with whatever language the theme creator used, and you have to translate it yourself...

I personally can tolerate the fact I can't set the language, but the keymaps... that's most annoying when you have to constantly pass from on keyboard to another. Especially that the TTYs are correctly configured, but not those in X if I logged with Entrance.
