Re: Hi, how to change the LC_CTYPE?

[i <i@introo.me>]

According to my experience, editing /etc/default/locale should work.
I did restart my laptop and found that the line "export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8" didn't work.
However, when I switched to root, and run locale -a, the output became normal. To confirm that, I run set | grep LC_CTYPE. It is true that LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8.
My root account uses bash, and my account uses zsh as default sh. I guess it's the problem of my zsh.
But I still don't know the solution.

dpkg-reconfigure locales is not meticulous enough. That's the reason why I want to set the default locale by myself.

do a: dpkg-reconfigure locales
choose your default locale and that's it.
reboot.

I am now using Debian/Sid with display manager lightdm and desktop
manager xfce4.
I used to edit /etc/environment and add export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8.
Now It doesn't work.
When I have logged into XFCE4, the output of locale -a is
LC_CTYE=en_US.UTF-8
Later, I edited /etc/default/locale, adding one line: export
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8. However, the locale is still LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8.
I also did that in /etc/profile, and  failed either.

I am now curious about the way the system source *.sh in the boot up
session.
My question is :What's the proper way of setting LC_CTYPE?
(Plus, if I add export LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8 in /etc/default/locale, it
will work, but this is not what I want. Further more, I think the file
/etc/default/locale shouldn't be edited, as it is generated by the
software and maybe overwritten.)

Thanks.
