I won't take credit for setting this up, because I don't think I did. On |
| 26 |
the other hand, |
| 27 |
I've had occasion to internationalize a web page to dutch and polish, which |
| 28 |
appear |
| 29 |
in the list. So I dunno where it came from. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
But here's what's there: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
# /etc/locale.gen: list all of the locales you want to have on your system |
| 34 |
# |
| 35 |
# The format of each line: |
| 36 |
# <locale> <charmap> |
| 37 |
# |
| 38 |
# Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and |
| 39 |
# where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/. |
| 40 |
# |
| 41 |
# All blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored. |
| 42 |
# |
| 43 |
# For the default list of supported combinations, see the file: |
| 44 |
# /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED |
| 45 |
# |
| 46 |
# Whenever glibc is emerged, the locales listed here will be automatically |
| 47 |
# rebuilt for you. After updating this file, you can simply run |
| 48 |
`locale-gen` |
| 49 |
# yourself instead of re-emerging glibc. |
