This manual page documents briefly the __locale-gen__ |
| |
|
22 |
command. |
| |

23 |
|
| |
|
24 |
|
| |
|
25 |
By default, the locale package which provides the base |
| |
|
26 |
support for localisation of libc-based programs does not |
| |
|
27 |
contain usable localisation files for every supported |
| |
|
28 |
language. This limitation has became necessary because of |
| |
|
29 |
the substantial size of such files and the large number of |
| |
|
30 |
languages supported by libc. As a result, Debian uses a |
| |
|
31 |
special mechanism where we prepare the actual localisation |
| |
|
32 |
files on the target host and distribute only the templates |
| |
|
33 |
for them. |
| |
|
34 |
|

|

|
| |
|

__locale-gen__ is a program that reads the file |
| |
|
37 |
__/etc/locale.gen__ and invokes __localedef__ for the |
| |
|
38 |
chosen localisation profiles. Run __locale-gen__ after |
| |
|
39 |
you have modified the __/etc/locale.gen__ |
| |
|
40 |
file. |

The main configuration file, which has a simple format: |
| |
|
48 |
every line that is not empty and does not begin with a # is |
| |
|
49 |
treated as a locale definition that is to be |
| |
|
50 |
built. |
