It's properly covered in the Gentoo Localization Guide [1]. You need to |
| 17 |
move/convert your locales.build to a locale.gen, run `locale-gen` and make |
| 18 |
sure it doesn't generate any errors and set LANG in /etc/env.d/02locale... |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If you need help you will have to post the contents of locale.gen and the |
| 21 |
output of `locale-gen`. |
