Paulo, |

You need to set your locale. Just set these in your .bashrc (or |
| 12 |
to /etc/env.d/02locale for system-wide settings): |
| 13 |
export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.ISO8859-1 |
| 14 |
export MM_CHARSET=pt_BR |
| 15 |
Then, if you are working from console, you also need to set appropriate font |
| 16 |
and screenmap. Take a look at Gentoo Linux Localization Guide |
| 17 |
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml?style=printable) for |
| 18 |
details. |
