I need to have separate locale settings for my terminal apps, so I

terminal (which will source .bash_profile and thus be incorrect)?
Thanks.
I think locale is the same for terminal and non-terminal apps, except
you can set locale separately for each separate environment.
echo $LC
echo $LC_MESSAGES
echo $LC_CTYPE
echo $LC_COLLATE
echo $LC_TIME
echo $LC_MONETARY
echo $LC_NUMERIC
echo $LC_PAPER
echo $LC_NAME
echo $LC_ADDRESS
echo $LC_TELEPHONE
echo $LC_MEASUREMENT
echo $LC_ALL
(unset LC_ALL if you need different locales for different things)
echo $LOCALE
echo $LANG
echo $GDM_LANG
In C:
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
//
// not tested
//
char *some_locale="C";
if setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,some_locale)
printf ("messages locale set to %s\n", some_locale);
else
prinf ("setlocale failed\n");
// .
// .
// .
Off the top of my head...
