locale

This option allows you to select the locale used for text presentations. The default is English US ('en_US').

See file Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/lang.pm declaration for %languages which may contain a more up to date list.

'locale' => {


'lang' => 'en_US',

'langs' => {


'en_US' => 1,

},

'country' => 'CA',

'utf8' => ''

}

Descriptions:

'lang'

specifies the default language (see table below), not a locale. For example, all locales speaking French (fr_FR fr_CH fr_BE fr_CA) it's 'fr', for all locales speaking American English it's 'en_US'. This parameter will be used to set the language-oriented locales environment variables (LANG, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, etc.). See file Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/lang.pm declaration for
%lang which may contain a more up to date list.

'langs'

contains a list of one or more languages used to select the 'locales-*' packages for installation.

'country'

specifies the 2 letter acronym for your country. For example, France will be 'FR', USA will be 'US'. This parameter will be used to set the country-oriented locales environment variables (LC_NUMERIC, LC_MONETARY, etc). See file Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/lang.pm declaration for
%country which may contain a more up to date list.

'utf8' => 1,

used to force UTF-8 locales. However, it is normally left unset
('utf8' => ''). Drakx will determine if it needs to be set; usually when multiple languages with different character sets have been listed in 'langs'.
