You can set the LANG environment variable. For example setting it to fr_CA.ISO8859-1 will produce French Canadian error messages with ISO8859-1 characters. You can see all the available locales with 'locale -a' command. You might need to change the screen fonts for other languages, but the default ISO8859-1 set works fine. Only programs that are locale aware will actually output French, others will continue to output English. -- Andrew > > -- > Peter > > > > > > > __________________________________________________________ > Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
