I have just tried it out in this manner: from a gnome-terminal window I do export LANG=en_IR@euro and then I open a new gnome-terminal window gnome-terminal which should make the new terminal inherit the environment and it seems to do so too, but I get: Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library Which gets me no further. I know this is OT, and many apologies for it, but how can I check which locales I have access to? And some pointers on how to install more than I have would be nice.
