For such countries the priority of the language question should not be lowered and no default language needs to be chosen. > In step 2, the user is warned that choosing "Others" may have > undesired effect as the locale combination is currently not supported > in Debian. > > [...] > > About LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL and all this stuff, I leave the answer to > others as I must admit that some subtleties there are away from my > understanding...:-) Even when the language-country combination is not supported the LANG variable should be set to a valid locale. It is more important to satisfy the country part of the locale than the language part. This means that we need a default locale for each country. (Hm, again default for Belgium and Switzerland.) LC_* must always be unset despite that in RedHat LC_ALL=$LANG. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
