Default TEXT LANGUAGE SUPPORT ON AMIGA 500

Don't write in caps, please, and explain your problem a little more clearly. What are you using the A500 for? What version of the Amiga OS does it have?

The point is that the old 1.3 standard AMiGA has not localization.

My guess is he means keymaps.

The keymap can be changed with the command "keymap <something>" in CLI.

If this is not what you mean, please elaborate.

I'm not sure about the Amiga OS version. What I use the Amiga for is to lay a script (still titles or crawls) over a video clip (using a genlock). The script I create has to be either in Greek (I'm from Greece) or English. Is there a way to combine both languages, i.e. in a crawling message. I know I'm not very helping but it's all still quite mixed up in my mind ...

Okay...start off with describing your set-up. Is it a stock A500? Does it have a HD, do you boot from floppy? What software are you using to do the videotitling? Do you start your software from workbench (AmigaOS's GUI) or is it on a selfbooting floppy? Sorry bout all these question, but you're not giving much we can work with :-).

Oh! Welcome to A.Org :-D!

@Argo
Ever wondered what the Greek equivalent to that phrase is?
Well, since we do understand Greek, we say "It's all Chinese to me" :-)

Anyway, it's all "Greek" to me too when we write it in latin characters but we have to make sure that he will be able to read it.
