Hmm... I've added all this in my /etc/env.d/02locale: LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" and in my ~/.bashrc export LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_COLLATE="C" export LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" export LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" but this is what aterm is showing: $ locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 There's no mention of LANG or LC_*US* in /etc/profile.env, /etc/bash/bashrc, or anywhere else that I can see. So, where is it being read from? PS. Not sure why LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 does not have " " marks like the LC_ parameters? -- Regards, Mick
