Step-By-Step Guide to Localizing Linux Operating Systems to Chinese

How to set the Linux system interface to Chinese. Since there are many branches of Linux systems, some are relatively easy, while others are more complex. This time, I took some time to record videos on how to change the interface of several mainstream operating systems from English to Chinese and share them with everyone. Many Linux operating systems share a common lineage with the five systems mentioned above, so the settings are also quite similar. Everyone can easily set it up. Of course, the video may have shortcomings; I hope everyone can point out my mistakes in the comments so we can learn together!
