You can play KHangMan in twenty-two languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Bulgarian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Irish (Gaelic), Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Norwegian (Nynorsk), Portuguese, Spanish, Serbian (Latin and Cyrillic), Slovenian, Tajik and Swedish.
By default, after the first installation of KHangMan for KDE 3.3, only English and your KDE language if it is one of the above and if you have the corresponding kde-i18n package will be installed. For example if you are a Danish user and if you have KDE in Danish, KHangMan and in you will see two items: English and Danish and Danish will be the default.
You can still play KHangMan in other languages. It is very easy to add new data in KHangMan. All you need is a working internet connection. You click on the menu and then on . A dialog appears, similar to this one:
Click on the language name you want to install and then on the Install button. A dialog will tell you when the language is installed by displaying: Successfully installed hot new stuff. You click on OK to close this information dialog then on Close to close the Get New Stuff dialog (if you want another language, you get repeat these steps). The new language is now available!
You can then easily change the language by going in the and choosing another language.
Please note that you can now type the special characters in a language by displaying the Special Characters Toolbar. This toolbar holds buttons with an icon of each special character per language like é in French for example. Clicking on such a button will write the corresponding letter in the input line and you validate your choice with Enter. You can of course also use the keyboard layout corresponding to the language. This toolbar can be shown or hidden. The setting is restored next time you play KHangMan.
Please note that you need Arial and URW Bookman fonts in order to correctly display the special characters in some languages. Provided you have those fonts installed, KHangMan will automatically use them. If you see small rectangles instead of letters, then you migh miss one of these fonts.
