Hi! I have Swedish language settings. I would like to partly change those. I want Swedish keyboard settings and all the date formats, currency, thousands separators, decimals and so on to conform to Swedish convention. But in programs I want all menus, messages, error messages etc in English. Is this doable, if so how? regards Andreas

It describes macros for use by a programmer, but each of those macros also corresponds to an environment variable. You can accomplish what you describe by settting all the LC_* variables (or perhaps LC_ALL) to your Swedish locale and then setting LANG to an English language locale. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

That would override LANG. export LANG=en_US.utf8 # or en_GB or whatever you prefer export LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8 export LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.utf8 export LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.utf8 You'll have to figure out *where* to do this, and that will depend on how you login to the system, and also on whether you run some kind of Desktop Environment that will clobber your environment settings.

That was going to be my next question. I use lightdm to login in to KDE. I was thinking I'd put it in ~/.bashrc for the shell and either ~/.xsessionrc or ~/.dmrc for the desktop environment?

Try .xsessionrc and see if that works. The questions will be:
(1) Does KDE overwrite your variables?
(2) Are your terminals launched as children of the KDE window manager, or
are they spawned from the pits of hell like GNOME does it?
Maybe you'll get "lucky" and .xsessionrc will simply work, and then you'll
be done. I don't know, but it's worth a try, before you go diving into
the realms of the primordial gods.
