DetailsDescription:
I'm a user from Hungary, but I don't like the Hungarian errors, feedback etc/etc, so I usually use my Arch-box in English. However I had some directories with Hungarian names and Hungarian characters in it (like "árvíztűrő tükörfúrógép"). I didn't update for a while (about a half-year) after the update all localized characters in the konsole or in Dolphin changed to "?". I have read carefully the wiki about locale, and created /etc/locale.conf with the content: LANG="en_US.utf8" export LANGUAGE="en_US.utf8:hu_HU.utf8" LC_COLLATE="C" (my locale -a says: C POSIX de_DE de_DE.iso88591 de_DE.utf8 deutsch en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 german hu_HU hu_HU.iso88592 hu_HU.utf8 hungarian) but if I log in (to KDE or to console tty[1-4]) an call "locale" I get: LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= If I run the command export LANG=en_US.utf8 or export LANG=en_US.utf8 in kosole panel of Dolphin then Dolphin shows the Hungarian accented characters correct, but the konsole or the tty[1-4] console does not show the Hungarian characters normally So my question is which program should export the LANG and LC_COLLATE variables? Maybe systemd should(Yes-I use systemd)? Then which target file? Yours sincerely Lóránt Farkas |

Second locale.conf isnt the place to export stuff.
See locale(1) locale(7) and locale.conf(5)
