So... you're agreeing that we should use UTF-8? Seems sensible, anyhow.
One question. I can set LANG to en_US.UTF-8, but I would like to have the
test report include the language setting to confirm that it is set right.
Like, if a system doesn't support en_US.UTF-8 for some reason, I want to know
that it's not running a fair test. So how can I tell what the system is
really using?
For example, if I set LANG to "sfsfgsfdg", then "locale" tells me I'm
using "sfsfgsfdg", but it actually defaults back to POSIX, and I get the
wrong scores again.
The command
locale -a | grep $LANG
should tell me whether the locale is installed, but doesn't, because it
reports the name in a different format!
Ideas?
