LC_MESSAGES controls only the locale to be used for message catalogs. LANG provides a "default" setting for all aspects of the locale. For example, if you set: LANG=ja_JP LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR you will get message catalogs in French but everything else - date, monetary information and so on - will be printed according to the Japan locale. See the setlocale man page, although I agree with you that this is not really the kind of thing users should be expected to read. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
