HI,

I would like to know, how to set system locales in busybox.

Thanks, Phani

You could try the usual environment variables like LANG or LC_ALL, but I am unsure which, if any, busybox implements using. Thier focus is on size and resource optimization (https://busybox.net/about.html).

HI All, I enabled the Config and made build. But still locale is not active. image

docker image i build locally is image

Any further inputs can be helpful

Regards, Phani

I can't seem to find anything useful about BusyBox's support for locales -- in fact, for me, the second result on Google for "busybox locales" is this very issue. :sob:

If it's supported, I'm not sure whether it's well supported (or perhaps well tested). :see_no_evil:

Most of the use cases for BusyBox are likely explicitly not including locales support because they're typically focused on extremely small form factors that aren't usually used interactively (and thus locale support isn't all that important).
