Change the Linux MAG Embedded portal language in System settings and restart the portal after saving. Use Keyboard layout separately to enable a typing language. The remote’s on-screen keyboard and a supported external keyboard have different layout-switch controls.
Choose what needs to change
Record the current portal language, enabled keyboard layouts and input device. Keep a remote and a known route back to System settings available. The receiver model and firmware determine which languages appear. Use the built-in portal documentation if its menus are already visible, or consult the operator if the interface belongs to its external portal.
Set the portal language and verify the menu
In Main menu > Settings > System settings, open More to reach the Advanced settings. Choose Language and save the intended value. Use Restart portal to apply it. Reopen a known menu and confirm that its labels changed as expected. The language used to label a provider’s programmes and its supplied audio tracks can have a different origin.
If the labels are harder to navigate after a change, use the original path and value recorded before changing it. A device reboot is a wider action than the documented restart of the portal application.
Use harmless text to check the input device
Under System settings > Keyboard layout, enable the needed layout from the supported list. Open a normal text field where you can type and clear a short test word without changing a service login.
| Input route | Check |
|---|---|
| Remote and virtual keyboard | Use KB to show the keyboard when required, then F4 to switch among enabled layouts. |
| Supported external keyboard | Use Ctrl and left Shift to switch. Confirm the model’s supported USB or Bluetooth route first. |
| Correct menu language, unexpected typed characters | Inspect the active keyboard layout and the input device independently of the portal language. |
Keep the layout that supports everyday entry
Verify the intended letters with the test word and clear it. If an expected layout is absent, give Infomir or the operator the model, firmware and input type. If typing is now correct and a separate programme language still differs, inspect that programme’s track choices.
