locale support in KDE2.2.2 and KDE3
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I am currently using Woody and still stumble across KDE's handling of the
LANG variable. The correct thing would be (in Germany)
LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro
or even
LANG=de_DE@euro
because ISO-8859-15 in implizit in that locale. But the EuroSign does not
work with this, only with
LANG=de_DE@euro.ISO-8859-15
(at least the difference "ISO-8859-15" to "ISO8859-15" seems to be fixed
somewhen).
But this still does not satisfy me, because this really goes against
setlocale(3):
A locale name is typically of the form language[_terri
tory][.codeset][@modifier], where language is an ISO 639
language code, territory is an ISO 3166 country code, and
codeset is a character set or encoding identifier like
ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8.
But that also seems to imply that @euro should only be a modifier to de_DE,
not a locale on its own. But this is the case in Debian:
$ ls /usr/lib/locale
de_DE de_DE@euro de_DE.utft en_US
So I have three questions:
1. Is this a KDE2.2.2 bug or a locales bug?
2. If it is a KDE2.2.2 bug, it is fixed in KDE3?
3. Did I misunderstood something?
Thanks a lot
