 |
|
I'm trying to set my locale to en_GB.UTF-8.
I have followed the wiki page (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/Guide#LINGUAS) on setting it up, and have the following settings:
/etc/locale.gen
| Code: |
C
POSIX
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB ISO-8859-1
|
# eselect locale list:
| Code: |
Available targets for the LANG variable:
[1] C
[2] POSIX
[3] en_GB
[4] en_GB.iso88591
[5] en_GB.utf8 *
[ ] (free form)
|
but when I run
$ locale
I get:
| Code: |
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
|
I have done "eselect locale set 5," "env-update," "source /etc/profile," ". /etc/profile," "locale-gen" ad infinitum.
Exporting LANG as a shell variable does change it, but the encoding of characters doesn't change.
What gives?
Thanks in advance |

Hello.
If running systemd, there must be an additional step with localectl (at least).

1) Do you use OpenRC or Systemd?
2) Please show us the contents of the file: /etc/env.d/02locale
3) Do you (re-)set LC_*, LANG, or LANGUAGE in /etc/profile, ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc? |
