So you will be presenting the (Other countries) selection for each supported language? It a bit redundant. > -ru_DE will be your default locale Wow, never thought about that. Would this work? I guess not at the moment, but it'll be really descriptive. > -Russian keyboard will be the default choice for you (or German....but > having the default keyboard depend on language rather than country > seems more logical to me) Not quite. Living in Germany is not easy in the Linux world - for example, I had to use a custom keymap for the xkb configuration back in the XFree86 4.2.0 times, because the russian layout is based upon the US layout which I do not want to use. I guess the console does have the same problem, so I'd prefer to take the German layout, as I won't need to enter anything in russian language (except maybe for username, but I am really not sure, if UTF-8 in /etc/passwd is acceptable), but I'd really like to find the right special characters on my german keyboard. > I'm not completely aware of the consequences of unsupported locales. > Which value do you use for locale on your current system, NikolaiÂ? Currently, I am using ru_RU.UTF-8 at home and de_DE.UTF-8 at work, which gives russian and german language respectively. I have done some differentiation on LC_CURRENCY, which is set to de_DE.UTF-8 also at home. BTW, I remember base-config generating ru_RU.KOI8-R for me at the second stage -- but I wish my UTF-8 locale to be the default! -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
