Hi an interresting registry entry would be :
/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/LocaleName in france, under vista, it's fr-FR which is easy to translate to fr_FR.UTF-8... how about to integrate something like this in lang.sh : [ -n "${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-$LANG}}" ] && return read LocaleName < '/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/LocaleName' case ${LocaleName} in *-*) export LANG=${LocaleName%-*}_${LocaleName#*-}.UTF-8 *) export LANG=C.UTF-8 ;; esac unset LocalName Regards, Cyrille Lefevre -- mailto:cyrille.lefevre-li...@laposte.net -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
