Localization problems with ~x86 keyword [SOLVED]

Hello all. Sorry for my English. I followed the Gentoo Localization guide to have my system in Italian, and everything went fine. Now i'm trying the ~x86 architecture, and, when i'm using the root shell, i lose localization, and the only workaround is giving "env-update && source /etc/profile" every time i log in as root.
Is there a way to fix permanently that?
Thanks in advance

Hello,

What file did you edit to make your localization changes, did you change things in /etc/env.d/02locale or did you edit ~/.bashrc

Can you post the output from running /usr/bin/locale

Thanks

Thanks for answering.
I used /etc/env.d/02locale, and here's the output of /usr/bin/locale:

Glad to hear you fixed the problem.

You should probably make those changes in ~/.bashrc and not /etc/bash/bashrc. If you update your system, etc-update will want to overwrite any changes to /etc/bash/bashrc.

Just curious, did you kill and restart X as per the localization guide? /etc/profile is only read on login not on terminals spawned within X, this could be why you had to keep sourcing /etc/profile

From bash man page

I've completely solved the problem by using the "su -" command instead of normal su

Thanks to all

@sn4ef3r
I got the same problem if i did su command in ttyn console, without starting X at all
