Configuring locales
-------------------
Locales are a framework to switch between multiple languages and allow
users to
use their language, country, characters, collation order, etc.
Please choose which locales to generate. UTF-8 locales should be chosen by
default, particularly for new installations. Other character sets may be
useful
for backwards compatibility with older systems and software.
1. All locales 249. gl_ES ISO-8859-1
2. aa_DJ ISO-8859-1 250. gl_ES.UTF-8 UTF-8
3. aa_DJ.UTF-8 UTF-8 251. gl_ES@euro ISO-8859-15
248. gez_ET@abegede UTF-8 496. zu_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8
(Enter the items you want to select, separated by spaces.)
Locales to be generated: 2
Many packages in Debian use locales to display text in the correct
language for
the user. You can choose a default locale for the system from the generated
locales.
This will select the default language for the entire system. If this
system is a
multi-user system where not all users are able to speak the default
language,
they will experience difficulties.
1. None 2. C.UTF-8 3. aa_DJ
Default locale for the system environment:
In other words, one language needs to be selected in order to be able to
choose 'none' (use none if you access the host through SSH) or 'C.UTF-8.
