Controlling your locale with environment variables (Linux.com)
[Posted May 1, 2006 by ris]
Linux.com
takes a
look at the locale environment variables. "
People all over the
world use Linux in dozens of languages. Since Linux's source code is free
and open, speakers of minority languages can add support for their
languages themselves, even though a large corporation might not consider
them a worthwhile market. If you use more than one language, or a language
other than English, you should know about Linux's use of locales to support
different languages. Indeed, understanding locales can be useful even if
you only use English."
