I think the LANG variable is discriminated :)
Since keymap is there, LANG should probably be put there as well... I never needed it until now, seems like my system only understood ascii characters :D (and since python defaults it's encoding to the system's, it tries to map each character to ascii as well :/)
This task depends upon

My ArchSystem supports full latin1 (UTF8 coded) charters like öäüªΩ€ªŁ'®¥J↑ØŁ>' and so on ;)

ToDo: Nothing, just keeping the default configurtion.

now mine supports utf-8 as well, but you have to manually set this, and I believe it would be more logical if this can be set in the rc.conf, since other localisation settings like keymap are there as well

What needs to be done with the LANG variable? It just needs to be exported to the environment?

(please excuse my ignorance w.r.t. internationalization; unfortunately, I only speak English)

as you already thought, it only needs to be exported

the default could be eg export LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-15", in my case it's LANG=nl_BE@euro.ISO-8859-15

i'm against specifying anything for LANG for default ... especially if it is not utf-8!

just a thought - why isn't it by default set to UTF8 ?
isn't it already time to be contemporary, on par with others (suse, redhats, etc.) ?

btw - utf8 is used even here -
angļu nav vienīgā valoda, kādā varētu runāt un rakstīt ;)

judd this can be closed or not?
LOCALE= is this what he means
Comment by Judd Vinet (judd) - Wednesday, 04 January 2006, 19:11 GMT
Yes, the LOCALE setting implements language support.
