| 313 | If you use a locale that isn't available by default, you should use |
|
|
| 314 | <c>localedef</c> to generate your locale. For instance: |
|
|
| 315 | </p> |
|
|
| 316 | |
|
|
| 317 | <pre caption="Generating a locale using localedef"> |
|
|
| 318 | # <i>localedef -c -i en_US -f ISO-8859-15 en_US.ISO-8859-15</i> |
|
|
| 319 | </pre> |
|
|
| 320 | |
|
|
| 321 | <p> |
|
|
| 322 | After having generated the locale, you can export the LANG variable as you see |
|
|
| 323 | fit. |
|
|
| 324 | </p> |
|
|
| 325 | |
|
|
| 326 | <pre caption="Exporting the LANG variable"> |
|
|
| 327 | # <i>export LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-15"</i> |
|
|
| 328 | </pre> |
|
|
| 329 | |

|
| 331 | Be sure to update the environment after the change: |
|

|
|
| 333 | |
|
|
| 334 | <pre caption="Update the environment"> |
|
|
| 335 | # <i>env-update && source /etc/profile</i> |
|
|
| 336 | </pre> |
|

|
|
| 338 | <p> |
|
|
| 339 | After this, you will need to kill your X server by pressing |
|
|
| 340 | <c>Ctrl-Alt-Backspace</c>, log out, then log in as user. |
