How can it be that in your system pt_BR defaults to > pt_BR.UTF-8? I configured my .bashrc and restarted the session four times exporting the following values to LANG and LANGUAGE: VALUE RESULT pt_BR The lines of error pt_BR.ISO-8859-1 The lines of error pt_BR.UTF-8 OK (nothing) OK I manually configured my system to UTF-8, and I'm not a expert in this issue. Probably I put something in a configuration file that isn't standard in Linux systems configured to UTF-8, but I don't know what I did wrong/different. Anyway, your correction to conjugue is working fine here as long as I either set my locale to *.UTF-8 or do not set it.
