To make things clear: make sure you specify languages the way you use them in /etc/locale.conf. For example, if you use de_DE.UTF as locale, add this to locale.gen: de_DE.UTF8 UTF8 This will generate locale data for de_DE.UTF8, taking de_DE as locale, UTF8 as charset and de_DE.UTF8 as name in the locale archive. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
