Question make custom 'locale' files?


Under Debian "Expert Installation" once I have chosen installation/system language and location, I get an informative notice, that:

Code:
There is no locale defined for the combination of language and country you have selected.
..and I need to choose one locale available for the selected language. As I understand, locale is just a set of environmental variables used by applications and printed out with locale command?

In addition, is it possible to generate own locale files after the installation, which will match my needs?

man 5 locale describes the format and refers to other man pages and file locations. The as-installed locale definition files can be used as samples; they are in /usr/share/i18n/locales on Slackware (not convenient to check on a Debian system right now).
