Locales / unicode on OpenBSD

2009-07-10 Thread Sorkin Dima

Hi,
  I am new to OpenBSD and to BSD in general.

  I have copiled the Yudit editor on OpenBSD, and it seems that
the OpenBSD-4.0 on my machine (pentium-4) does not support locales.
Are there any docs on the localization of OpenBSD or *BSD ?

Please CC me on replies, I am not signed to the mailing list.

Thank you, regards,
  Dima.

P.S.
  The error by Yudit:
---
# yudit
No locale support on this machine.
No locale support on this machine.

OpenBSD supports locales but only CTYPE actually. You can also use LANG 
environment variable to have at least part of OS translated to your 
language.

If I'm right and you speak Russian then I'll recommend this page: 
http://www.openbsd.ru/docs/howto-cyrillic.html .
