The fact is we do want to override. locales are in fact for two purposes: to tell the wanted language and to tell the wanted country. if you ask a language/country for which there is a locale already (eg, fr_BE) then all is ok. but if you want French in Germany there isn't a fr_DE. So we use fr_FR for all the LC_* variables that are more language-oriented (like LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE,...) and de_DE for those that are more country oriented (like LC_MONETARY, LC_PAPER, etc.) -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Catalan or Esperanto] [min povas skribi en valona, esperanta, angla aux latinidaj lingvoj]
