Hi V,
IIUC, you can prefix one of the locale variables to a command to change
them.
this is my 'locale' info:
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=
So IIUC, doing this should make 'spanish' mesages:
kevin@debian:~/DOCUMENTS/IMAGES/DIA$ LC_MESSAGES="es_ES" ls ddd
ls: ddd: No existe el fichero o el directorio
So IIUC, doing this should make 'spanish' mesages:
kevin@debian:~/DOCUMENTS/IMAGES/DIA$ LC_MESSAGES="es_US" ls ddd
ls: ddd: No such file or directory
cheers,
