Provided you want to do a dup. If not, well, use up, patch, whatever you want to do.
OK.
I thought it was to set all output to english ;) I wouldn't mind, as it is my second language anyway... Is there a way to do that? Saves me to remember doing that the whole time.. ;(
Well... Typically, you do it in YaST, but the change applies to all users, I think. You can simply: # export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 then that xterm will be in English from then on. You can change more variables; I have a script to call programs in English: cer@nimrodel:~> cat /usr/local/bin/ingles #!/bin/sh LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=english KDE_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $* or in Spanish: cer@nimrodel:~> cat /usr/local/bin/espaniol #!/bin/sh LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 DICTIONARY=espanol KDE_LANG=es_ES $* You can also have a look at the output of "locale". The default for root is: nimrodel:~ # locale LANG=POSIX LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 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= To change any user, even root's, you change its locale. I'm not sure of the locale command syntax. I think there is a setting in YaST for root's only, somewhere. I thought the default was always "posix". - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
