Difficulty updating locale to ja_JP #113

Closed ajping closed 4 years ago

ajping commented 4 years ago

I've followed the instructions and the locale changes to Japan/Japanese. But for some reason when I reboot the change is not permanent and it reverts back to GB locale. Apologies if this is a noob question - I don't have much experience with localization.

Hi - did you get this solved? Best, sakaki

Yes, I think so. It turns out that setting locale with env-update only writes LANG in 02locale. But that wasn't enough to keep the system switched over to Japanese - something kept switching it back to GB. I manually added and set LC_CTYPE to ja_JP.utf8 and that keeps it switched over. After adding and setting LC_TIME, the date command now shows the correct localtime as well!

Best, Aaron

Glad to hear you got it sorted ^-^ I'll try and add a wiki page about localization shortly, had quite a few queries about it recently. Best, sakaki
