Hello Sebastien, Thank you for your prompt answer. And - yes - at least I do need to use the ISO-8859 locale for a forms server application. This application runs not only on Ubuntu but in MS Windows from Windows Server 2000 up to Windows Vista as well as on Vax VMS. The application uses the HP printers in PCL-5 mode as well as other applications for PDF-conversion and so on and so on. It will certanly take a long time before all environments in the world outside is adapted to UTF-8. So I do think it is to early to put away all other locales than the UTF-8.
It also wery practical - even if there are solutions to that - to be able to use ISO-8859 in my own evironment which consists of different PC:s running MS windows, a Red Hat 7.1 server, a couple of Ubuntu Linux and an old (very reliable) IBM AIX server. If this is to big a problem perhaps Ubuntu could let the control-center fall back on pure english menuetexts when problems with translation to swedish arrise - rather than core-dump !?
