Re: different locale per user



In comp.os.linux.setup Dominique Gibon <dominique.gibon0@xxxxxxx>:
Hi,


Running Debian Sarge 3.1 (en_US), kernel 2.6.8-2-386, KDE 3.3.2
System is multi-user, with locales en_US, en_FR and en_GB installed, default
language "en":

After searching and googling I still have 2 questions :) :
1) how do I get rid of en_GB ? A new "dpkg-reconfigure locales" did not
eliminate it.
2) The KDE desktop and "K" applications locales are set per user: 2 users in
English, 1 in French.
But how do I set user specific locales for bash, firefox and openoffice ? No
way to get them in anything but English.

Put it in ~/.bashrc and perhaps start firefox/OO from a script
that queries 'locale' or the respective env vars and fires up the
right version depending on settings.

Good luck
