Download-Translate Problem

Asked by Damian

I download Greek subtitles from many sites and all of them are written in an unknown language.
example: ÊáöÝò óôï Ðáñßóé, óåñö óôéò Ìáëäßâåò, ýðíïò óôï ÊéëéìÜíôæáñï.
Does anyone know how to translate them or smth?
Tnx

Go into a Terminal, and issue the following

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install language-support-el

Then to be sure that the locale took, issue the following

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

I guess

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install language-support-ru

But try first to change the enconding of your player to Russian.
