If you run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' you can install and set default the different locales available. -mk -Original Message- From: Steffen Evers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 2:24 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: language and charset settings Hello, does anyone know how to have the charset settings differently than the language?

I use [EMAIL PROTECTED] LC_MESSAGES=en_US LC_COLLATE=C so my fonts can display the euro-symbol in addition to umlaute, the applications still speak english, and ls displays uppercase names before lowercase.

language and charset settings
Hello, does anyone know how to have the charset settings differently than the language? I want to have my applications speaking English, but would like to be able to display German Umlaute like ue or oe. This does not work with the current locale stuff. However, it used to work. When I set LANG=C in /etc/environment my konsole does not display the Umlaute any longer. When I set it to de that works, but all applications speak German. Any suggestions? Bye, Steffen --
