AFAIK, ISO-8859-1 is the Debian > default, since Debian's based in American-English-speaking territory. Since the OP is referring to gtkrc, I presume that the priority is using X11. On my system, I use a French Canadian keyboard with `xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.qc`, and by setting LANG=fr_CA, I can get the documentation, menu information and whatnot *that is currently available* in French. Unfortunately, a quick ls of /usr/share/man/fr/man1 on my heavily over-installed system lists only 31 entries, compared to 3638 in /usr/share/man/man1 :( Okay - I haven't focussed on installing French documentation on this system, as I like most others that can speak French accessing this system also speak English, and I've been working more on my Arabic and Russian information (No information of use here for Al Qaeda, though.) There is the Linux Documentation Project's "La Francophones-HOWTO: Linux et la langue française" which you can find in either doc-linux-html or doc-linux-text. A heads-up, though - Gnome-Terminal for Gnome 2.2 needs to be set for ISO-8859-15 to get all characters used in French, otherwise it tends to hang on non-ASCII characters (bug reported #181790) Using `export LC_ALL=fr_CA` tends to be a good start at getting the system to expect French as the language and styles. -- Mark L.
