BTW: you have 'LANG' set to 'en_US' no point in explicitly setting LC_TIME and the rest of the gang in /etc/sysconfig/i18n BTW:[2] your LC_PAPER shouldn't really be en_US (letter), it should be some ISraeli or european locale to provide A4. Ditto for LC_MEASURMENT . Somehow en_UK (or is it en_GB ?) looks like a better English locale. One thing to try: look at 'rpm -ql locales-he' . Then 'strace ls' for a small directory, and see what locales files it opens. On my debian/unstable system it is /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive .
