If scripts intend to use LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 to force everything to the standard locale with UTF-8 support, then the glibc should be modified to regard C.UTF-8 like C w.r.t. $LANGUAGE. I mean: xvii% LANGUAGE=fr_FR LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 cp cp: opérande de fichier manquant Saisissez « cp --help » pour plus d'informations. xvii% LANGUAGE=fr_FR LC_ALL=C cp cp: missing file operand Try 'cp --help' for more information. Both should have output in English. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
