 |
|
This is my current setup:
| Code: | jel@jel-desktop ~ $ cat /etc/env.d/02locale
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="sv_SE"
|
Produces the following
| Code: | jel@jel-desktop ~ $ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME=sv_SE
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
|
This is doing exactly what I want. utf-8 chars in gnome-terminal & console, swedish dates & everything else in english.
Except for one thing: Some apps get confused. I see crap like "(null)tis ons tor fre(null)" in the clock applet. etc. If I change "LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8" to "LC_CTYPE=sv_SE" everything looks OK again, but then I lose utf-8 in terminals.
Is it possible to fix this or do I just have to accept that some programs don't like the utf-8 suffix on LC_CTYPE?

| Aren't you mixing non-utf8 with utf8? Why not declare LANG="en_US.UTF-8" if you want English unicode? |

I was indeed! Specifying LANG="en_US.UTF-8" didn't make any difference but tacking utf-8 onto LC_TIME was the solution.
| Code: | jel@jel-desktop ~ $ cat /etc/env.d/02locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="sv_SE.UTF-8"
|
| Code: | jel@jel-desktop ~ $ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

The clock applet is working now. Thanks for the kool-aid!
