Is simplified chinese in the list? entropy@silversurfer:~> locale LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ALL= first choice is Italian second: German third: American English forth: Chinese (so the last if no other exists and is available). Hence this would mean hat the first three are missing for localization, so it jumps to the last choice?
