10 Only these:
11
12 (utf8) Default NLS Option
13 <*> Codepage 437 (United States, Canada)
14 <*> ASCII (United States)
15 <*> NLS ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1; Western European Languages)
16 <*> NLS UTF-8
17
18 But just as an example:
19
20 # find / -xdev -type d -name ru
21 /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/mercurial/locale/ru
22 /usr/lib64/libreoffice/help/media/icon-themes/cmd/ru
23 /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/mercurial/locale/ru
24 /usr/share/help/ru
25 /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/ru
26 /usr/share/vim/vim82/lang/ru
27 /usr/share/man/ru
28 /usr/share/binutils-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.33.1/locale/ru
29 /usr/share/locale/ru
30 /usr/share/gcc-data/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.3.0/locale/ru
31 /var/cache/man/ru
32 #
33
34 And searching for other language codes irrelevant to me gives similar
35 results. I've already thought about adding "-nls" to the global USE
36 flags, but I'm fearing to lose "en-GB" that way.
37
38 Any further thoughts anybody?

40 Sincerely,
41 Rainer
