LINGUAS is strictly portage-specific. It's used to control the |
| 5 |
compile-time inclusion of languages and/or locales for packages which |
| 6 |
have that kind of option (i.e. OpenOffice, KDE, Firefox and many |
| 7 |
others); as such it is generally set in make.conf, although it can be |
| 8 |
controlled on a per-package basis as others have said. |

On the other hand, things like bash and coreutils usually have a "nls" |
| 11 |
USE flag which controls the compile-time inclusion of *all* supported |
| 12 |
localizations. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Packages built with support for multiple locales will usually pick the |
| 15 |
right one at run-time by looking at the LANG and LC_* environment variables. |
