locales

This project contains non-official locale definitions for Linux.

For official locale definitions compatible with glibc, check https://lh.2xlibre.net/. This site also contains an installation script in Python for Debian based systems (untested).

How to install

The following has been tested on Ubuntu 20.04 (commands need to be executed as root).

• Add the locale definition to the list of supported locales: echo 'en_BE.UTF-8 UTF-8' >> /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
• Copy the locale definition file to the locale definitions directory: cp en_BE /usr/share/i18n/locales/
• Compile the new locale: localedef -f UTF-8 -i en_BE en_BE.UTF-8
• Add the locale to the list of locales that should be generated: echo 'en_BE.UTF-8 UTF-8' >> /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en
• Generate locales locale-gen --purge
