Korrekturen von Keyboard Mappings

locale (i.o?)
locale -a (zeigt die installierten, wie c_ und de_ch) ev. apt-get install locales
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales (default setzen)

[] PI - Weechat-Sonderzeichen Problem (LANG war nicht gesetzt)

   [ok]für ssh geht es, braucht vermutlich zuerst ein neues login

Locales

Muessen zuert installiert und konfiguriert sein.
Die Software haben separate Lang-Packages, die dann je nach Grundeinstallung aktiv werden.

Intallieren, configurieren

Debian

 apt-get install console-tools console-setup kbd 
 apt-get install locales language-env [fonty] (Tools) 
 dpkg-reconfigure locales              nachtraegliches Konfigurieren  
 set-lang-env                          (User-nonroot: auf user-ebene)

 dpkg-reconfigure console-data
 dpkg-reconfigure console-setup        (

 export LANG=de_CH.UTF-8

/etc/environment

Testing

Programmaufruf mit Locales (temporaer andere Sprache aktiv v.a. Grund-Sprache fuer fmsg)

LANG=de_DE mc
LANG=C evolution (C locale: POSIX system default locale), z.B. Original-Fehlermeldungen

Unset all locale environment variables.

 system$ unsetenv LC_ALL LANG LC_CTYPE LC_COLLATE LC_NUMERIC       					LC_TIME LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES

Unsets all locale environment variables. Runs the application in the C locale.
Explicitly set the locale to C or POSIX.

 system$ setenv LC_ALL C
 system$ setenv LANG C

Some applications check the LANG environment variables without actually calling setlocale(3C) to reference the current locale. In this case, setenv explicitly sets the C locale by specifying the LC_ALL and LANG locale environment variables. For the precedence relationship among locale environment variables, see the setlocale(3C) man page.

To check the current locale settings in a terminal environment, run the locale(1) command.

 system$ locale

Locale setzen (am Bsp. von Squirrelmail)
