It's properly covered in the Gentoo Localization Guide [1]. You need to move/convert your locales.build to a locale.gen, run `locale-gen` and make sure it doesn't generate any errors and set LANG in /etc/env.d/02locale... If you need help you will have to post the contents of locale.gen and the output of `locale-gen`. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml -- Bo Andresen
