Yes, it reads LINGUAS="en fr de es pl" Because while I don't ordinarily use other languages, I have in the past had to edit some i18n files for a web page of mine.

I didn't notice it at first, but the 02locale as suggested is making my Perl scripts issue warnings, including some very simple ones I wrote myself, so it's Perl itself that is complaining. perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = "en_EN", LANG = "en_EN" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). Anyway, I added .utf8 to the lines in my 02locale file, and it made no difference at all. I don't see utf8 in any of the outputs, and k3b and perl still don't like it. The outputs requested (plus my 02locale file) were: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ locale locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory LANG=en_EN LC_CTYPE="en_EN" LC_NUMERIC="en_EN" LC_TIME="en_EN" LC_COLLATE="en_EN" LC_MONETARY="en_EN" LC_MESSAGES="en_EN" LC_PAPER="en_EN" LC_NAME="en_EN" LC_ADDRESS="en_EN" LC_TELEPHONE="en_EN" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_EN" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_EN" LC_ALL=en_EN [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ locale -a locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory C POSIX en_US en_US.utf8 es_MX fr_FR [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/locale.gen # /etc/locale.gen: list all of the locales you want to have on your system # # The format of each line: # <locale> <charmap> # # Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and # where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. # # All blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. # # For the default list of supported combinations, see the file: # /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED # # Whenever glibc is emerged, the locales listed here will be automatically # rebuilt for you.
