A list of supported locales is available at /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See a full list with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> cat /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Take the first portion to generate full locale information for a region:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> locale-gen ru_RU.UTF-8
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then use this for the current shell session with
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> LANG=ru_RU.utf8
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Expand this to the entire system with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> export LANG=ru_RU.utf8
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can make this permanent for one user by adding this line to the ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Make it permanent for the entire system by editing:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> sudo vim /etc/defaults/locale
|
||
|
|
