Hi

Locales are working. You must check your enviroment variables. All is
manuals (for locales and perl). I attached a simple bash script to help you.
I tested it with <empty>, C, pl_PL and ru_RU values for LANG, LC_ALL and
LC_COLLATE variables ( 4^3 cases ).

PS

ru_RU locale has KOI8-R encoding (collating) not iso-8859-5.

#!/bin/bash

if [ -n "$LC_ALL" ] ; then 

  collating=$LC_ALL

elif [ -n "$LC_COLLATE" ] ; then 

  collating=$LC_COLLATE

elif [ -n "$LANG" ] ; then 

  collating=$LANG

else

  collating=C

fi

echo Actual collating is $collating
