Hi ! I'm afraid I saw your message too late because I have exactly the same problems you describe in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47623 which you've just closed.
I too have no ~/.guix-profile/lib/locale but ~/.guix-profile/lib/locales exists and allows the build to complete. So I don't know but could this ~/.guix-profile/lib/locale with no trailing 's' be a left-over from a previous version of some software that used to build it at that location or something ? My install of guix is pretty recent (~3 months). >From what I understood from the original issue, I checked $GUIX_LOCPATH and saw it contained only my current system's, /run/current-system/locale, which, when shared in place of this hypothetical `locales?` in $HOME/.guix-profile also allows haunt to build the site correctly (it produces something, reports success, and browsing what it serves looks like the official website). Hope that helps : ) Tissevert Le Fri, May 21, 2021 at 01:53:43PM +0000, Luis Felipe a écrit : > Hi, > > I've never been able to build and run the internationalized website correctly > following the instructions on the README.
