------- Additional Comments From I-SAngeli@siriush.com 2005-15-10 06:54 ------- Hi Jonathan,
thank you for your support. Here is my locale output: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=
As you can see, my LC_ALL= is empty but it is specifically empty otherwhise it would defeat the purpose of individual customizations.
This is what I advice/see: It is wrong to set wine or other applications to refer to LC_ALL. Totally wrong. Rather it sahould be used: LANG= and only this.
I wish to invite developers to make this change, if possible, so that users can customize their locale according to their needs and not to apps needs.
Please advice if I am wrong so that I modify my understanding of localization setup. You can also take a look at my howto for localizations I posted in Gentoo Forum for UTF-8: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-390888-highlight-.html
Sincerely, Spiro
