Yes, Julien, you are right! Changing config file to this: (operating-system ... (locale "ru_RU.utf8"))
and running as root: # guix pull # guix package -u # guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm # guix package -u made all my applications work on Russian: Xfce, Gimp, LibreOffice, Audacity and so on: http://0x0.st/zOsk.png But the next question is: how to make Russian environment only for defined user, not for all users? You said, my DM may have it. I use Slim and did not found such configs. Also `guix search xfce` did not display something like xfce4-settings. And I did not found language settings in xfce settings manager. My question rests unanswered.
