Localization FreeBSD

[Petr]

Hi all,

I have a problem with localization. I want to set the location of the Czech language. In /etc/login.conf I have this text:

czech|Czech Users Accounts:\                                                    
:charset=UTF-8:\                                                                
:lang=cs_CZ.UTF-8:\                                                             
:tc=default: cs_CZ.UTF-8:\                                                      
:LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8:\

Finally I entered the command [cmd=]# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf[/cmd]

But if I entered the command [cmd=]locale[/cmd] I receive incorrect output.

LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Where is my mistake?

Thanks,

Petr

Try this command:
[cmd=]pw usermod -n $username -L utf8[/cmd]

Hi.
You need to check if user that you are logging in got 'login class' set to 'czech'.
This can be set by:# pw usermod your_user -L czech
Well, if you want to change locale settings for only one user (for example on your desktop pc), the best way is to set them in ~/.login_conf.

me:\
        :charset=utf-8:\
        :lang=cs_CZ.UTF-8:

ofc after updating .login_conf you run
# cap_mkdb ~/.login_conf

-rw-r--r--  1 sw2wolf  wheel  16384  6 21 11:01 .login_conf.db

>sudo grep ^sw2wolf /etc/master.passwd

>cat ~/.login_conf
me:\
    :lang=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :charset=UTF-8:\
    :setenv=LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :setenv=LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :setenv=LC_COLLATE=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :setenv=LC_TIME=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :setenv=LC_NUMERIC=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :setenv=LC_MONETARY=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :setenv=LC_MESSAGES=zh_CN.UTF-8:\
    :xmodifiers="@im=fcitx":

However, after logging in my locale is not UTF-8 but "C".

Make sure there aren't any LC_* variables set in your login scripts. They may overrule what has been set in ~/.login_conf.

The reason is that slim does not respect the login.conf. Thanks!

Ah, I didn't know that. That's good to know.
