NAME
       locale.gen - Configuration file for locale-gen

DESCRIPTION
       The  file /etc/locale.gen lists the locales that are to be
       generated by the locale-gen command.

       Each line is of the form:

       <locale> <charset>

       where  <locale>  is  one   of   the   locales   given   in
       /usr/share/i18n/locales  and <charset> is one of the char-
       acter sets listed in /usr/share/i18n/charsets

       The locale-gen command  will  generate  all  the  locales,
       placing them in /usr/lib/locale.
