locale: What is the LANGUAGE variable used for? (and when?)
- by seya
I am trying to understand the locales used in Linux. On my Ubuntu 11.10 system locale puts out the following:
LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_DK.UTF-8"…
