Hi everyone :)
Hello,
Overall, I was looking for the appropriate Vietnamese locale to set. That should be a UTF-8 locale for Vietnamese, either vi.UTF-8 or vi_VN.UTF-8. I'm looking in /usr/share/locale — is that the correct location?
vi_VN.UTF-8 or any other name is just a symbolic name which will not have a file counterpart on your system. At most there will be a vi or vi_VN file.The connection between the long name and the actual locale is made by glibc internals. On a Debian system you can enable and configure a locale by installing the locales package and selecting it in the debconf dialog (if it doesn't appear, you can run later "dpkg-reconfigure locales")
I myself am running Mac OSX, which is a UNIX (BSD) base, and my system doesn't have any Vietnamese locales at all ! Which surprises me, since all the options included in a locale (keyboard layouts, timezones, time formats, money formats etc.) are available in the OSX GUI for Vietnamese. (Maybe I _am_ looking in the wrong location?)
Probably on OSX the locale information is somewhere under /System or /Library. As Miroslav said, you can see the whole locale list /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED, but you won't need that to set the locale. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
