Enviroment value for system locale?

[krajis]

I might just miss something, but it seems I cannot get the system locale sorted out. So that decimal separator would be comma and thousand separator would be, well, nothing. On command line there seems not to be locale command available and Firefox does not seem to care about any site language or UI language preferences for this. So I can download for example language pack just fine, but locale stays as it is.

Could there be -e parameter for locale of the system?

To clarify, are you saying that changing the language in Firefox doesn't work ?

[krajis]

Sorry for not being clear enough. Language packs work just fine, but the number/currency etc formatting is the issue. As far as I know under normal linux environment it is enough to se the system locale to for example de-DE and everything is fine after that, no matter the browser language settings. Changing the requested site locale in Firefox settings does not change how for example floating point numbers are presented.

Do you have an example of where in Firefox such numbers are shown ?

[krajis]

On web page for example when using home assistant in "use system locale" setting. In this case that is easily fixable from HA, but in some pages formatting is not manually selectable.

Ok I see. Did you confirm that this is working using a "normal" firefox installation ?

Can you try to set the LANG environment variable (e.g. LANG=en_US.UTF-8)? There is also a setting in Firefox to use system locale. I would enable that.

Is this working when using "normal" Firefox ? What are your Firefox settings related to language and locale ?

[floxboy]

I installed Firefox on windows host and everything is ok no X on linux host also everything is fine with the display in Chrome on Windows host in Firefox set language - Russian in Firefox in docker worth it too Language pack Russian

Could you try to set the LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 Docker environment variable ?

Also, if you can explain a little bit how I could reproduce on my side, it would be useful.
