Thanks for the instruction but I cannot replicate your findings. I need a precise cookbook. Here is what I did: $ dpkg-reconfigure locales # Here I have activated pt_BR.UTF-8 $ cd /var/tmp $ cp /usr/bin/conjugue . $ cp /usr/lib/brazilian-conjugate/verbos . $ recode l1..utf8 conjugue $ recode l1..utf8 verbos $ perl -pi -e 's|/usr/lib/brazilian-conjugate|.|' conjugue $ LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=pt_BR.UTF-8 LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 ./conjugue The last command gives the 200 lines of error messages that you observed before. Is this the case for you too? I am wondering whether gawk (which is the /etc/alternative/awk in my system) supports UTF-8.
