This is the first page google came up with so I thought I&#39;d post my findings.<br /><br />cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local<br /><br />Does the desired locale exist in there? If not then create it with<br /><br />sudo locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8<br /><br />It will genetate the locale and update the list of supported locales. Now change the default locale with<br /><br />sudo update-locale LANG=en_GB.UTF-8<br /><br />It updates the contents of /etc/default/locale. Log out and back in again. You can check that it has taken affect by typing <i>locale</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11593374.post-82696099088488408082010-02-02T12:11:00.027Z2010-02-02T12:11:00.027Zthankyou!<br />Moreover, if anyone needs legal locale codes, are in:<br /><br />/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTEDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11593374.post-62356190694607885252009-11-10T12:49:47.532Z2009-11-10T12:49:47.532ZThe above didn&#39;t work for me.

I've followed the configuration instructions you mentioned to change locales (I guess it would be similar under Kubuntu), however, my LANG variable is still set as en_US.UTF-8 as are a number of other LC vars. The only change is that of the addition of a LANGUAGE var which is set to en_GB:en. Any idea where these other settings are configured and how I can get them changed?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>Andy.rascassianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16695697166128439341noreply@blogger.com
