Bug ID: 252670
Summary: Incorrect l10n tip in freebsd-tips fortune file
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People

The following tip, in /usr/share/games/fortune/freebsd-tips line 112-115:
In order to support national characters for European languages in tools
like
less without creating other nationalisation aspects, set the environment
variable LC_ALL to 'en_US.UTF-8'.
needs fixing in two ways:
1. The LC_ALL variable is only for temporary overrides and should never be set
permanently, as it overrides all specific LC variables such as LC_COLLATE,
LC_TIME and LC_MONETARY. Instead, the variable LANG should be set.
2. The value en_US.UTF-8 may work, but should be changed to C.UTF-8, as this
locale is specifically provided for this purpose.
So change line 114 from
variable LC_ALL to 'en_US.UTF-8'.
to
variable LANG to 'C.UTF-8'.
This is also not limited to European languages, so change line 112 from
In order to support national characters for European languages in tools
like
to
In order to support characters for non-English languages in tools like
