Well, this is not entirely true. While programs do lookup the LANG envvar, they do not recode properly. For example when I do: export LANG=bg_BG.CP1251 or export LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8
wget uses the bulgarian po-file translation, but it is not recoded properly and is just a Latin-1 dump of an UTF-8 file (the wget.mo is compiled from an properly encoded UTF-8 po file)
In both cases:
I get:
$ touch кирил $ rm -v кирил removing `\352\350\360\350\353'
I have installed libgettextpo0 - 0.12.1-3 libiconv2 - 1.9.1-3 libintl - 0.10.38.-3 libintl1 - 0.10.40-1 libintl2 - 0.12.1-3
locale database is part of libc. Where do I look for it in Cygwin?
I have the sources for the Bulgarian locale. I could try to compile it.
While under GNU/Linux I prefer UTF-8 locales, I have to use a CP1251 one under windows.

What does it mean to "have your locale settings straight" in cygwin ? Is it possible to make cygwin respect Windows locale settings (it seems that they don't affect cygwin out of the box) ? Or may be one should install Unix-like locale database and use variables like LANG to choose locale ?
The latter. Igor
