 Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2024 12:25 pm Post subject: Turkish Localization Issue on Gentoo |
 |
|
Hello. I am using Gentoo bunch of time, i added ISO and UTF-8 variants Turkish and English(US) languages into /etc/env.d/02locale file. Also i selected via localectl. In graphical apps everything is fine but in terminal emulators and TTY environment Turkish specific characters appears as white square or square with question mark. If localization set by KDE's GUI then this fixes this issue on teminal emulators but this issue is still persist on TTY. Also while compiling something this warning appears;
| Code: |
!!! WARNING: The LC_CTYPE variable is set to a locale that specifies
!!! transformation between lowercase and uppercase ASCII characters that
!!! is different than the one specified by POSIX locale. This can break
!!! ebuilds and cause issues in programs that rely on the common character
!!! conversion scheme. Please consider enabling another locale (such as
!!! en_US.UTF-8) in /etc/locale.gen and setting it as LC_CTYPE in
!!! make.conf.
!!!
!!! abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz -> ABCDEFGHiJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
!!! expected: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
!!! ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ -> abcdefghIjklmnopqrstuvwxyz
!!! expected: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
|
I am not sure why it happens, i think it may cause by a error on localization files in Gentoo. I checked Localization wiki on Gentoo's Wiki but it wont help. Any ideas? |

tr_CY ISO-8859-9
tr_TR.UTF-8 UTF-8
tr_TR ISO-8859-9 |

I added third and fourth of language options in my /etc/locale.gen file. I selected tr_TR.UTF-8 UFT-8 variant via localectl. I am using systemd as init system. "I,ı" and "İ,i" are looks similar but completely different letters in Turkish, i believe it causes this problem. |

I have no issue about building packages. It just don't show correctly Turkish specific characters in bare TTY. Should i rebuild all system with recommended workaround in that topic? I mean adding "LC_ALL=C" to make.conf and rebuild @world and @system. |

My 2 cents is that it would be much too early to do so.
I intend to test TTY for tr_TR.
Sorry for not being ready yet.

No. Setting LC_ALL in make.conf is only so that any build output is in English, to make it easier for us to read when you request help.
According to your original post, Portage wants you to use a locale with traditional sorting / mapping rules. Turkish is not such a locale. Switching LC_CTYPE like that would be a good idea to avoid failures in builds, but I have no reason to believe it would fix your rendering problem. |

Then i am not going to apply this "fix". If you need further output i can submit it. For now i ran out of solutions. Thanks. |

| Hello. I fixed my issue by using another Virtual Console than getty. I tried both fbconf and kmscon, both are shows Turkish-specific characters without issues. I prefered kmscon because it can configured more easily and it has systemd config built-in. Thanks for everyone. |
