# Set the system locale. (no, we don't have a menu for this ;-)
|
|
# For a list of locales which are supported by this machine, type:
|
|
# locale -a
|
|
|
|
# en_US.UTF-8 is the Slackware default locale. If you're looking for
|
|
# a different UTF-8 locale, be aware that some of them do not include
|
|
# UTF-8 or utf8 in the name. To test if a locale is UTF-8, use this
|
|
# command:
|
|
# LANG=<locale> locale -k charmap
|
|
# UTF-8 locales will include "UTF-8" in the output.
|
|
# If there are problems with certain programs and a UTF-8 locale, you
|
|
# can set LANG=C before starting them.
|
|
export LANG="${LANG:-en_GB.UTF-8}"

|
# 'C' is the old Slackware (and UNIX) default, which is 127-bit
|
|
# ASCII with a charmap setting of ANSI_X3.4-1968. These days,
|
|
# it's better to use en_US or another modern $LANG setting to
|
|
# support extended character sets.
|
|
# export LANG=${LANG:-C}
|
|
|
|
# One side effect of the newer locales is that the sort order
|
|
# is no longer according to ASCII values, so the sort order will
|
|
# change in many places. Since this isn't usually expected and
|
|
# can break scripts, we'll stick with traditional ASCII sorting.
|
|
# If you'd prefer the sort algorithm that goes with your $LANG
|
|
# setting, comment this out.
