while I'm straggling with another problem I noticed that I don't have /etc/env.d/02locale , I don't remember what I did when I installed gentoo.

echo $LANG both for root and regular user is:
en_US.utf8

LINGUAS="en he"


my locale.gen is:
Code:

he_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8
he_IL ISO-8859-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8


Code:

locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8
LC_TIME=en_US.utf8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=



all those have no LANG in them:
Code:

grep -r LANG /etc/bash/
grep -r LANG /etc/profile.d/
grep -r LANG /etc/portage/
grep -r LANG /etc/env.d/


and also those:
Code:

grep LANG ~/.bashrc
grep LANG ~/.bash_profile



so where is LANG coming from ?
I have no problems with languages, so do I need /etc/env.d/02locale anyway ?

OK, sorry I was tired and missed that :oops: I think you have to create that file yourself.

Some packages install locales like gtk. Take a look in /usr/share/locale

Maybe that's where they're coming from :?

Maybe what you are looking for is locale-gen ?

perhaps:

Code:

# eselect locale list
Available targets for the LANG variable:
  [1]   C
  [2]   POSIX
  [3]   en_US
  [4]   en_US.iso88591
  [5]   en_US.utf8
  [6]   ja_JP.utf8
  [ ]   (free form)

You may try creating /etc/env.d/02locale file if it doesn't exist.

Code:
echo 'LANG="en_US.UTF-8"' > /etc/env.d/02locale
echo 'LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"' >> /etc/env.d/02locale


or

Code:
echo 'LANG="he_IL.UTF-8"' > /etc/env.d/02locale
echo 'LC_MESSAGES="he_IL.UTF-8"' >> /etc/env.d/02locale


It should work after a reboot.

eselect locale should change this file for you without you having to edit by hand

Code:

vunnable ~ # eselect locale list
Available targets for the LANG variable:
  [1]   C
  [2]   POSIX
  [3]   de_DE
  [4]   de_DE.iso88591
  [5]   deutsch
  [6]   en_US
  [7]   en_US.iso88591
  [8]   en_US.utf8 *
  [9]   german
  [10]  ja_JP.utf8
  [ ]   (free form)

vunnable ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale
# Configuration file for eselect
# This file has been automatically generated.
LANG="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="C"

vunnable ~ # eselect locale set 9
Setting LANG to german ...
Run ". /etc/profile" to update the variable in your shell.

vunnable ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale
# Configuration file for eselect
# This file has been automatically generated.
LANG="german"
LC_COLLATE="C"
