Inserting export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 in ~/.dtprofile does not solve the problem. With this modification after I login the command echo $LANG returns el_GR.UTF-8 so the variable has been set. But ls shows the Greek filenames garbled. Same thing in filemanager. Garbled filenames when in Greek. The script you say you are not familiar with, it just sets the LANG variable before executing Xsession: cde.desktop executes /usr/dt/bin/startxsession.sh and cat /usr/dt/bin/startxsession.sh gives: #!/bin/sh export PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin export LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 /usr/dt/bin/Xsession This way it works. Filenames are correct when in Greek. So it seems that when .dtprofile is executed it is already too late. dtlogin may do that properly but currently I use lightdm since I am on a HiDPI laptop and can not work on CDE unfortunately. Letters are too tiny for my eyes and can not increase the size due to lacking good pixel fonts for Greek. I can configure dtlogin to start mate-desktop too but I have not done this yet. Antonis.
