My suggestion was not to provide an example for each locale. If the discussion goes beyond "Changing .bashrc will not necessarily affect your windowing environment; you need to localize it as well. Consult your environment's documentation for more." It seems reasonable to me to start with the environments that tend to be provided by default (I think this means GNOME and/or KDE) or are listed in Debian Tasks (e.g., in tasksel or aptitude). > would mean, to provide over 20 different examples, since user > of nepali, arabic (RTL) or chinese need different things and we > have different environements Console, WindowManager, KDE and GNOME. > Are you suggesting that that there is something structurally different about some of those locales, so that generic instructions would not serve? I.e., rather than just setting a few environment variables and pulling in localization packages, you need to do more in some cases?
