Hi, I got this report about weird behaviour of locales:
After the fresh install of Sarge in Czech language you end up with system where (almost) everything is localised to Czech and you can read/write iso-8859-2 characters. % cat /etc/environment LANGUAGE="cs_CZ:cs:en_GB:en" LANG=cs_CZ Now the problem is when you switch the LANG to english, e.g. export LANG=en_GB (of course en_GB being generated with dpkg-reconfigure locales), it still speaks in Czech, but iso-8859-2 specific characters are messed, because en_GB of course uses iso-8859-1 charset. You have to either unset LANGUAGE or remember to set it to the same value as LANG (e.g. export LANGUAGE="en_GB"). The question is, what is this variable for? In woody and before, where I had to setup the environment manually, I didn't use LANGUAGE variable and everything was working ok. man locale doesn't talk about this variable either.
