[kn@gloomy kn]$ echo $LC_ALL $LANG $LANGUAGE $LINGUAS
de_DE de de_DE:de de_DE:de

No, I didn't. It's like that: Some months ago, I tried a complete Cooker
install *with* the locales-de stuff. But it did really bad things. Menus
in GNOME lost the umlauts (���). Some menus did't have entries at all.
Some programs would no longer run...
I admit, I should have reported back then. *blush* Ok, I will try installing
the locale-de package later. And will tell you, if everything is fine now.

I guess now it doesn't matter any longer, but
[kn@gloomy kn]$ locale
LANG=de
LC_CTYPE="de_DE"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE"
LC_TIME="de_DE"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE"
LC_ALL=de_DE
Perhaps I should stay away from german settings anyway. I prefer english
messages, and I guess I will lose them when installing locale-de...
Kai.
