Yes, but the other applications are not listing locales nor using setlocale to change locale to those during runtime, which is the problem here. If there was another app that does it, it could be interesting to see how it manages that. I don't know other way than to use the "locale -a" way, i.e. traverse /usr/share/locale and parse locale.alias. -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
