| == Locale ==
| | Musl does not implement most of the [[Locale|locale]] features that glibc implements. |
| {{Seealso|Compose key}}
| |
| To Fix unicode defaults:
| |
| <code>sed -i 's/#unicode="NO"/#unicode="NO"\nunicode="YES"/' /etc/rc.conf</code>
| |
| | |
| Musl does not implement most of the locale features that glibc implements. The {{Pkg|musl-locales}} package provides [https://git.adelielinux.org/adelie/musl-locales translations] with varying degrees of completion. The below command installs a limited set of locales (languages) for musl (C library) generated console messages. | |
| {{Cmd|# apk add musl-locales}}
| |
| | |
| The {{Pkg|musl-locales}} package also provides <code>locale</code> command. To list defined locales:
| |
| {{cmd|locale -a}}
| |
| | |
| This package includes a file {{Path|/etc/profile.d/00locale.sh}}. You'll need to re-login or source it manually for locales to work.
| |
| | |
| Copy the default locale settings file {{Path|/etc/profile.d/20locale.sh}} to a custom override file:{{Cmd|# cp /etc/profile.d/20locale.sh /etc/profile.d/20locale.sh.sh}}
| |
| | |
| Now custom override file can be edited with <Code>nano /etc/profile.d/locale.sh.sh</Code>.
