[SOLVED] problem with setting locale

konzo · 01-23-2010, 04:35 AM

I want to change my LANG variable to be able to read specific program. First I check availabe encodings with locale -a.
There are:
bg_BG.utf8
bg_BG.cp1251
bg_BG.iso88595
bg_BG.koi8r

I try to set every possible of them, but when type locale charmap I get the following error:

Code:

locale charmap
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
UTF-8

I try also to change LC_MESSAGES and LC_ALL manual with export, but error is the same. Any help?

Edit: I don't have ".profile" file in my home dir. Can be that the problem?

I add in command line:
LC_ALL=bg_BG.UTF-8 wine Diction.exe

and set work path ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SA\ Dictionary/

and it works. No need to change locale anymore.
