I'm breaking my head trying to understand what exacty the glibc locale does? It seems like it sets some global encoding flag. Doing ls in a directory with Hebrew filenames gives me gibrish(yes the console font and encoding is set correctly), but after setting LC_ALL="he_IL" ls will show me the filenames correctly.
My problem is that when LC_ALL is set to "he_IL" many programs will output Hebrew text (for example date). I want to be able to view and write hebrew, while the default language is English. -Amir. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
