Locales, Unicode, NLS, i18n????
Dear all,
I'm a Debian user, portuguese by nationality, living in Germany, working
and coding in English, speaking additionaly Russian.
Now, I keep everything in the system in english, without special
characters of any kind. I want, nonetheless, to be able to read and
write in the languages above. I've achieved a reasonable degree of
success in setting up the system, for which I'm very grateful to the
developers.
Some pieces of software still fail to work as I wish, or have problems
coping with all the languages at the same time, and I'd like to
understand if the problem is improper setup, or simply unsupported
features.
Well, looking through the documents got me even more confused - there
appear to be a lot of ways to implement languages other than english,
and I'm totally at a loss trying to figure out if, how and why they are
related.
Can anyone give some pointers to help clear this out? Links to solid,
reference docs would also be appreciated.
Regards,
Renato
