I have Solaris 8 OS installed in French.
Is it possible to switch from French to English without reinstalling the OS ? If yes how ?
When locale -a
i have this :
POSIX
common
en_US.UTF-8
C
iso_8859_1
en_CA
en_CA.ISO8859-1
en_US
en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US.ISO8859-15
en_US.ISO8859-15@euro
fr_CA
fr_CA.ISO8859-1
iso_8859_15
th
th_TH
th_TH.TIS620
Even when I try to edit /etc/default/init
with :
LANG=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-15
and reboot : nothing happens.
To verify the result i always use date
and when i reboot : i also have the date in french.
P.S : I have to do this configuration in a computer which isn't here in my office, so i have to this manipulation in a an another computer here in my office and if it works, i'll do it to the other computer.
So the computer here is configured in English and i have to switch it to French.
Here is the content of my ~./dt
:
C errorlog sessionlogs
Desktop errorlog.old sessions
Trash errorlog.older simulateur.dtwmrc
appconfig help startlog
appmanager icons startlog.old
asr.dtwmrc outils.dtwmrc startlog.older
bin palettes tmp
bookmarks sdtfonts types
dtwmrc sdtpcaction.conf wsmenu
en_US.ISO8859-15 sdtpcaction.conf.bak
Thanks

To switch to the US locale, open with an editor the file named
.dtprofile
present in your home directory and add this line at the end:or better:
The desktop, shell and all applications should be displayed in English after the next login.
