You need to have correct glibc localedata package installed (or generated). Then you need to define locale (e. g. in /etc/profile.d or ~/.profile): export LC_TIME=lang_COUNTRY.UTF-8 or in more common case than your export LANG=lang_COUNTRY.UTF-8 List of supported keys in the latest glibc: LANG (set everything, several applications react on it - X, gtk1) LC_CTYPE (class of characters - defines e. g. á as letter) LC_NUMERIC (formating numbers) LC_TIME (formatting time) LC_COLLATE (sort order) LC_MONETARY (formatting of monetary values) LC_MESSAGES (locale for strings) LC_PAPER (local paper format) LC_NAME (Mr. Miss. Mrs. Ms...) LC_ADDRESS (car id, country num, country name,...) LC_TELEPHONE (local telephone conventions) LC_MEASUREMENT (local measurement standards) LC_IDENTIFICATION (locale identification) LC_ALL (force everything, not recommended in locale setups, useful in scripts) -- Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus _______________________________________________ Angstrom-distro-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-users
