Talk:Localization/Guide

Support other languages
We can split Localization/Guide apart? Or in some places i will have to write another translation as The Euro symbol for the console -> Cyrillic symbols for the console. If this localization guide please give opportunity to write for the nuances of languages other than German. -- Cronolio 23:26, 28 Dec 2015 (UTC)


 * I just split out the whole Euro symbol stuff into a separate sub page. --Charles17 (talk) 11:08, 16 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Should be mentioned in this guide about installing an unicode font, right? --Best, Pál (talk) 11:00, 11 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Also, should be mentioned that that one must to set USE flag 'unicode' in make.conf, right? --Best, Pál (talk) 11:08, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Regarding the USE flag, that's only useful if  does not return nothing. --Charles17 (talk) 13:38, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Wrong place here. Unicode character set is mother of UTF-8 character encoding and is described there.

locale commands of sys-libs/glibc
Shouldn't be mentioned here that commands used in this article like /usr/sbin/locale-gen /usr/bin/localedef /usr/bin/locale are specific to ? Or do the alternative "system libraries" (,, ...) provide the same commands? Also the term  as used in the article is not very clear. Is  identical with  ?

Possible values of LINGUAS
The guide originally recommended looking at for possible values but the file is going out in a week. We should probably link to some nice reference of what to put there. Michał Górny (talk) 22:12, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
