It doesn't seem to work for me. My /etc/locale.gen includes: fr_FR ISO-8559-1 de_DE.ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 If I do "LANG=fr_FR ls --help", I get the French help text; if I do "LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1 ls --help", the messages come out in English. Conversely, "de_DE" gives me English and "de_DE.ISO-8859-1" gives me German. So it seems that an exact match is required. I admit this is scarcely an exhaustive test, though. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
