|
|
513 | You will probably only use one or maybe two locales on your system. You have to |
|
|
514 | specify locales you will need in <path>/etc/locale.gen</path>. |
|
|
515 | </p> |
|
|
516 | |
|
|
517 | <pre caption="Opening /etc/locale.gen"> |
|
|
518 | # <i>nano -w /etc/locale.gen</i> |
|
|
519 | </pre> |
|
|
520 | |
|
|
521 | <p> |
|
|
522 | The following locales are an example to get both English (United States) and |
|
|
523 | German (Germany) with the accompanying character formats (like UTF-8). |
|
|
524 | </p> |
|
|
525 | |
|
|
526 | <pre caption="Specify your locales"> |
|
|
527 | en_US ISO-8859-1 |
|
|
528 | en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 |
|
|
529 | de_DE ISO-8859-1 |
|
|
530 | de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15 |
|
|
531 | </pre> |
|
|
532 | |
|
|
533 | <note> |
|
|
534 | You can select your desired locales in the list given by running <c>locale -a</c>. |
|
|
535 | </note> |
|
|
536 | |
|
|
537 | <p> |
|
|
538 | The next step is to run <c>locale-gen</c>. It will generates all the locales you |
|
|
539 | have specified in the <path>/etc/locale.gen</path> file. |
|
|
540 | </p> |
|
|
541 | |
|
|
542 | <pre caption="Running locale-gen"> |
|

543 | # <i>locale-gen</i> |
|
|
544 | </pre> |
|
|
545 | |
|
|
546 | <p> |
|
|
547 | Once done, you now have the possibility to set the system-wide locale settings |
|
|
548 | in the <path>/etc/env.d/02locale</path> file: |
