I have tried LANG=sv_SE and LANG=sv, and even setting the individual LC_XXX environment variables. It gives various interesting results, but all gives a non-working system. Even 'ls' aborts with an error message. Maybe something is misconfigured on my system, but I really can't figure out what. I have libc6-2.2.4 and locales-2.2.4. I also have not been able to figure out how to successfully set locale to any other language than the default with LANG=POSIX. On the other hand, kde works good in setting its language to Swedish, and that I did by changing the language setting within kde. All menus and texts are in Swedish, where they have been translated. I don't know what setting LANG would improve on the situation, except for making none-kde applications crash. In any case, the following shows one interesting effect of changing 'LANG': [/u/home/pgd (5)]$ export LANG=sv_SE [/u/home/pgd (5)]$ ls ???? ??????? ?0?0?0??????? ???????????? ?????????? 00000????? ??? ??????? ???????????? ??????????? ?????? ???????? ???????????????? ???????????? ????????????? ????? ??????? ?????????? ?????? ????????????? ????? ???????? ????????????? ??????? ?????? ???? ?????????? -- Karolina
