Can the OS language be specified with syslinux?

[lihua]

I installed Salixlive in my usb stick, and use SYSLINUX to load it. This works well. But everytime the system is boot up, i have to chose the system language. can it be specified in the syslinux.cfg? Some distribution can do this.
Also, the Chinese characters in files or filenames can not be displayed. Please help me.

If it is indeed syslinux wich is used to boot your usb stick you would just have to edit syslinux.cfg to personnalize your menu.
What is the content of your syslinux.cfg?

Thanks.
Here is my syslinux.cfg:
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 50
DEFAULT /boot/vesamenu.c32

LABEL salixlive
MENU LABEL Install Salixlive bootloader
KERNEL /salixlive/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=769 initrd=/salixlive/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=8000 root=/dev/ram0 rw nosplash

It is not boot anymore with syslinux : it's grub2.
Edit the grub2 menu to select your prefer language by default.
About chinese characters, maybe it's only a missing font package...

I installed Salix on my harddisk, It's works perfect. Everything is OK, Chinese characters, input method.
I use syslinux to load puppy, DOSTools and so on. So i copy the files in Salixlive LiveCD to the USB driver, and use syslinux to load it. It works well too, expect for the language setting.
Maybe later i try the Grub2.

If your boot menu shows you all the languages, then you must have used grub2 somehow & not syslinux, because your syslinux menu only shows standard English boot menu options.

Anyway, the grub menu just specifies cheat codes to create this effect.
For example:
lang=<locale>
kb=<keyboard layout>

For others I recommend you just look at boot/grub/boot.cfg and boot/grub/cheatcode.cfg on your USB key, resp. the SalixLive ISO.
