Re: keyboard layout in xterm and console

[Johan Ehnberg <johan@ehnberg.net>]

I tried another way (which is not recommended in the Euro HOWTO):

/etc/environment:

LANG=fi_FI@euro

(don't have a line "LC_ALL=" at all)

Now I get a Finnish keyboard layout in a console, my gnome appears in 
English, but a terminal such as xterm or multi-gnome-terminal still 
doesn't work. I guess their locale is specified by gnome, as "locale" 
shows "C" instead of fi_FI@euro.

This might help you a bit on the way. I don't know about the messages in 
German, but I get them in English this way.
