Quoting http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2004/12/msg00059.html "X11 uses the user representation name (UTF-8), because user should use such name. OTOH, locale -a displays the glibc internal normalized representation name (utf8), because glibc should accept not only UTF-8, but also other possible user representation name like utf8." Please correct me for the next few: - gettext needs at least LC_MESSAGES and LC_CTYPE set, otherwise it falls back to C - LANG is one way to set all LC_* variables by providing a default value for unset variables - LC_ALL is another, overriding every other LC_*, ignoring LANG - LANGUAGE is a GNU extension and sets LC_MESSAGES to a locale with an existing translation, so if you have "nb_NO:sv_SE" and no norks bokmål is available, it switches to svensk instead (or falls back). - LANGUAGE does not work with accounts/ ... maybe one can fix this? With the help of textdomain/bindtextdomain?
