How-to change locales ?

[jeremiel...@gmail.com]

Heya,

I'm testing ovios in my company to see if it suits to our needs. I changed the /etc/locale adding my language, then ran a locale-gen, export my LANG var in the root's .bash_profile, rebooted, but always in posix language ......

Any idea

?

hi,

by default only EN US is installed. 

First install your language, assuming FR: 

# localedef -i fr_FR -f UTF-8 fr_FR.UTF-8

Then, edit /etc/locales

and add something like:

fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1

fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8

third, run locale-gen.

last, edit /etc/profile and export LANG in this file. (not .bash_profile)

export LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-15

WARNING: ovios-shell doesn't work with a non POSIX language by default, so you must run this before :

# sed -i '20i unset LANG' /usr/bin/os

this unsets the LANG variable in the ovios shell.

in my example you probbaly want to run:

# localedef -i fr_FR -f ISO-8859-15 fr_FR.ISO-8859-15
