Adding other languages to KDE

I want to add another language to KDE so I can type in with french accents. Problem is I installed KDE from compilling sources with gentoo and I have only english language ( maybe that's my fault tough ). When I go in the control center in personalization -> Country and Language : Add Language. I have only the option to add english us which is already installed. Is there a way to add french canada to this list ?

Hi
emerge -s i18n will give you a list of all translation packages.

How about in Mandrake or Red Hat?

Search for the rpm you need.
something like kde-i18n-de.rpm

Ok, thanks. Are there different types of RPMS for different distributions? Cause I've seen pain .rpm and then .mdk.rpm or something like that, and then there's RPMs for SuSE, so I don't use RPMS often cause I'm confused on that point.

Yes every distribution (and even every Version of a Distro) has different rpm's.
Only use rpm's for your Distro, or it won't work.

Ok. I'll just stick to tarballs though. They're more convenient for me.
