The problems are the application. Only a few application currently supports locales, e.g. for de_DE su, man, ls. ls -j for examples reply with the following message: ls: invalid option -- j Versuchen Sie `ls --help' für weitere Informationen. ^^^^^^^^ Try 'ls --help' for more information. Probably the only translated message for ls. > What strings should I use exactly? I use de_DE for Germany's German. You should probably use nl_NL for Netherland. Just trying: $ export LANG=nl_NL $ ls -j Probeer `ls --help' voor meer informatie. BTW: I hope you have the wg15-locale package installed?
