From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most cases will be solved with these settings (but some applications may need additional tweeks):
ja_JP.UTF-8locale, or~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.confI was trying to do that but I'm unsure what to edit to do that, since most tutorials are using either a Debian based or Arch distro.
I was using a similar guide, and it also talked about the locale.gen, but that file was never to be found, I just searched a bit more into that and this popped up. So it seems Fedora handles things differently, but now I'm unsure what commands to execute since I'm not sure the ones in that thread are also valid for me.
You can use
localectlto change the locale on Fedora. Here's what you need to do:ja_JP.UTF-8should be in the output oflocalectl list-locales.sudo dnf install langpacks-ja(I'm not 100 % sure about this and I don't have a Fedora system to test it on.)sudo localectl set-locale LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8This will (probably) change everything to Japanese – texts in menus, error messages in the terminal, and also the font rendering. This answer on Stack Overflow suggests to do something with your
fonts.conf. This way your UI would be in English (or your preferred language) and kanji would render as the Japanese variants.
