Hi Locales are working. You must check your enviroment variables. All is manuals (for locales and perl). I attached a simple bash script to help you. I tested it with <empty>, C, pl_PL and ru_RU values for LANG, LC_ALL and LC_COLLATE variables ( 4^3 cases ). Mirek PS ru_RU locale has KOI8-R encoding (collating) not iso-8859-5.
#!/bin/bash if [ -n "$LC_ALL" ] ; then collating=$LC_ALL elif [ -n "$LC_COLLATE" ] ; then collating=$LC_COLLATE elif [ -n "$LANG" ] ; then collating=$LANG else collating=C fi echo Actual collating is $collating
