 |
|
Hi,
I have got a problem: I updated glibc and forgot to configure /etc/locale.gen, so I got too many locales (around 400). I used localepurge to delete them. I regenerated the locales I needed (fr_CH and de_CH) using locale-gen after having updated /etc/locale.gen and I have set LC_ALL="fr_CH.UTF8" in 02locale but it doesn't work (everything stays english). I really don't know what went wrong.
It says in the guide that locales are part of the system libraries, so do I have to re-emerge some libraries to get my locales back? thanks

What does "locale" and "locale -a" give? After editing 02locale, did you issue "env-update" and "source /etc/profile"?

Yes I did issue env-update etc. locale and locale -a give correct values:
locale:
| Code: |
LANG=fr_CH.utf8
LC_CTYPE="fr_CH.utf8"
...
LC_ALL=fr_CH.utf8
|
locale -a | Code: |
C
POSIX
de_CH
de_CH.iso88591
de_CH.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
fr_CH
fr_CH.iso88591
fr_CH.utf8

Edit your 02locale file and try to use this format:
| Code: | LANG="fr_CH.UTF-8"
... |
At least this is the format in docs and works for me. And for some reason "locale -a" shows different format than the one in official UTF-8 doc.
EDIT: Actually, this doesn't seem to matter. Both formats worked for me. Hmm. I'd next try creating the locale again double checking the format:
| Code: | | localedef -i fr_CH -f UTF-8 fr_CH.UTF-8 |
