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

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.

36 __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.

47 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.
