I always installed Mandrake/Mandriva/Mageia in
Esperanto. At Cauldron there was no longer that option. I
installed it in Portuguese but I can't change the
language.

I've never tried it, but I think it's just a matter of installing the
desired locales-$lang, setting the values in /etc/locale.conf, and then updating the initrd with "mkinitrd -f".
That should be handled by mcc/Manage localization for your system, but I'm not sure if it will show languages that don't have the locales-$lang
package
installed, or update the initrd.

I tried your suggestion. The system started reporting errors.
Unfortunately the newsgroup settings do not allow me to send a photo.
What's happening with Mageia? It was an easy-to-install distribution but
it's getting more and more difficult.

First, in a terminal window,
rpm -qa |grep locales-eo
If you do not get an rpm name starting locales-eo- the Esperanto files
you need are not installed.
As root,
urpmi locales-eo
or go into Mageia Control Center mcc and install locales-eo using the install software function.
Cheers!

Cauldron is meant for use only by advanced users. It isn't even ready
for beta
testing at this point in time.
Regards, Dave Hodgins
Advanced users. I have seen this expression a lot but it is somewhat inaccurate. To this day, I don't know what level I could fit into. I
have Mageia 7 installed on another partition. I chose Cauldron because development occurs in this version. Attention will be paid to error notifications. I want to believe it is being useful for distribution.

Those warning can/should be ignored. They occur because the Esperanto language has
very limited support, and does not include UTF-8 character definitions, likely
because it doesn't need them as it mostly uses the Latin character set.
I know
they are annoying due to how often bash will show them.

I've confirmed mcc/System/Manager localization only shows installed
languages for
selection, but even with locales-eo installed, mcc does not offer
Esperanto for
the System language in either Mageia 7 or Cauldron on my system, likely because
I am currently using en_CA.UTF-8, so it's only showing locales with UTF8 support.
However, as the lack of UTF-8 support for Esperanto does not appear to
be new, I
don't see how those warnings would not have been seen during prior installations,
as those parts of the installer do not appear to have changed.

has a description of who should use cauldron.
Prior to the first beta (or alpha, if that route is chosen), Cauldron is mostly intended for use by developers working on it.
People who are not packagers are certainly welcome to help test it,
provided
they accept that cauldron is not expected to be stable and problems are
to be
expected. Reports of problems found in cauldron are encouraged, though
the reports
are best handled either on the mageia-dev mailing list, or via bugzilla, so there will be direct communication between the packager(s) involved, and
the
person reporting the problem. Cauldron users are also expected to
monitor the
dev ml to ensure they do not install partial updates that may break
usage of
their system. When there are large updates involving many packages, such
as all
of plasma or gnome, it's risky to install updates during the middle of the packages being built. That's also a risk for qa testers of updates, or
others
using the Updates Testing repos.
When the iso images do start being produced, they go through qa testing before
they are released to the general public to ensure they at least boot,
and install
in the systems being used for that testing.
People on the qa team and people using the netinstall iso images with cauldron
have to be willing to accept that the testing may trash their system completely.
It's not expected, and hasn't happened yet, but it's always a possibility.
