123 | If you use a locale that isn't available by default, you should use |
|
|
124 | <c>localedef</c> to generate your locale. For instance: |
|
|
125 | </p> |
|
|
126 | |
|
|
127 | <pre caption="Generating a locale using localedef"> |
|
|
128 | # <i>localedef -c -i en_US -f ISO-8859-15 en_US.ISO-8859-15</i> |
|
|
129 | </pre> |
|
|
130 | |
|
|
131 | <p> |
|
|
132 | After having generated the locale, you can export the LANG variable as you see |
|
|
133 | fit. |
|
|
134 | </p> |
|
|
135 | |
|
|
136 | <pre caption="Exporting the LANG variable"> |
|
|
137 | # <i>export LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-15"</i> |
