Re: [gentoo-user] What's wrong with my locales?
Maybe you're missing /etc/env.d/02locale, where you must set your LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_ALL. Bye.

Re: [gentoo-user] What's wrong with my locales?
Hi My mother language isn Chinese, but i can use my mother language in the GUI programms, my locales.build file is this: en_US/ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 zh_CN/GBK zh_CN/GB2312 zh_CN.UTF-8/UTF-8 In the GUI, I set the locale encoding as my mother language, I write my .xinitrc in my home directory like this: C=zh_CN.GBK export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GBK export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GBK export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx fcitx xcompmgr fvwm I think you should set the encoding what you want in your .xinitrc file My mother language is not English, I hope you can understand what I said Hope it helps On 16:21 Wed 15 Jun, Holly Bostick wrote: I've been trying to get my locales straightened out.
