[gentoo-user] localization

2005-09-03 Thread Francisco J. A. Ares
Hi,

I would like to know which is the right locale setting for compiling
e.g. KDE and Mozilla in my own language.  Mozilla is a good example,
because in an earlier version all labels and everything else was in my
home language.

This is what I already have set in my environment:

I18N=pt_BR
LANG=pt_BR
LANGUAGE=pt_BR
LC_ALL=pt_BR
LINGUA=pt_BR
LINGUAS=pt_BR
LOCALE=pt_BR

By the way, OpenOffice is currently in my home language and WindowMaker
has mixed english and brazillian portuguese texts.

Am I missing any?

I am looking at the Gentoo Wiki about UTF-8:  is it the right thing to
do the best localization?

Thanks
Francisco

KDE: You need to install kde-i18n and set the LINGUAS variable
appropriately. You can choose from

LANGS=af ar bg bn br bs ca cs cy da de el en_GB eo es \
et eu fi fr fy ga he hi hsb hu is it ja lt mk \
nb nds nl nn pa pl pt pt_BR ro ru se sk sl sr \
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sv ta tg tr uk zh_CN

Mozilla: Mozilla cannot be localized, using nothing but
the Gentoo ebuild. You'll manually have to install the
appropriate language extension for every user (!).
You can get them at 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.6/linux-i686/xpi/

Doubtful.

 LINGUAS=pt_BR

In this case, all you need to do is to install the kde-i18n package
and uwse the KDE control center thing to assign the correct langauge.

 LOCALE=pt_BR

No - you've got too much. It's sufficient to set
LANG in the environment and LINGUAS in make.conf.

KDE doesn't compile in your language. All the languages are in a database, and 
you choose yours in KDE's Control Center.
