Re: How to set locale??

["Dinesh Nadarajah" <dxn1972 hotmail com>]

OK. So I looked at all the responses (thanks a lot :) and set the LANG, 
LANGUAGE, and LC_ALL variables in the following files (this time on a RedHAt 
7.1 installation):
   .bashrc
   .bash_profile
   .profile
   .gnomerc
   .xinitrc

The last one (.xinitrc) would not start my X server. When I deleted it it 
started. The others, well, the X server started, but the LANG and only the 
LANG variable got reset to en_US. But then something else happened:

I did not install any of the .po files yet.  i.e. no .mo files for the 
messages. But when I started GEdit, it gave me a segmentation fault. When I 
reset LC_ALL and LANGUAGE back to en_US, the application booted without any 
problems. I thought, if there was no translation for a particular file, the 
application simply uses English (if no other choice is specified) but does 
not crash.

Anyway, I still have not been able to get the LANG to register. Is RH7.1. a 
stable platform to play around with yet? What version of Gnome does RH7.1 
use? I shall try again.

Thanks for the responses.
