Good question. All the knowledge I got from this comment. ;-) I suppose that the comment is not precise. Quoting: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ch-locale.en.html : > The syntax to build a locale name is determined as follows: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] However I would examine the build procedure of glibc to be sure (if I had time to do so) Additionally you may examine the 'localedef' utility and run: localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i en_GB en_GB.UTF-8 for such 'non-existing' locales, but: - I have pl_PL.UTF-8 and pl_PL defined in locales.build - there is no pl_PL.UTF-8 in /usr/share/i18n/locales - I don't recall running localedef manually - setting LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 gives me messages in UTF-8, while LC_ALL=pl_PL makes them to be in ISO-8859-2 encoding. As the locales.build file is for building glibc, the answer may be out there.
