Re: locale LC_CTYPE
You can also provide LANG(UAGE) or LC_CTYPE as a command line variable. To
write in Japanese, I call
LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE=ja_JP gedit
which gives me English menus and support for the XIM input program. This is
actually part a line in a script I call jpit, so on the occasions I want to
write Japanese I just call
jpit gedit
BTW, what exactly is the difference between LANG and LANGUAGE?
