| joerg | LANG=C (or unset) resulted in weird names? | 00:17 |

| joerg | there's en_US.utf8 in `locale -a` | 00:21 |
| joerg | also de_DE.utf8 in addition to de_DE | 00:22 |
| xmn | Some how still have not fixed my local-lang rendering issues. Sucks I forgot how I did it in the past. Thanks joerg for chiming in. might try again tomorrow. | 05:53 |
| joerg | xmn: https://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/search?q=locale maybe https://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2017-04-01.log.html#t2017-04-01T15:46:02 ff, or check the rest of search hits, it will show up somewhere | 11:19 |
| joerg | I couldn't recall details back in https://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2017-04-01.log.html#t2017-04-01T15:43:41 already | 11:21 |
| joerg | https://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2014-01-07.log.html#t2014-01-07T18:48:36 oneliner >>enychaving fun setting global environment varibles no clear way todo it ... seeemnigly adding to /etc/osso-af-init/locale works<< | 11:28 |
| joerg | xmn: this one seems relevant, starting at https://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2013-10-25.log.html#t2013-10-25T00:16:28 | 11:33 |

Thus lang=C doesn't work in maemo, and if it would, you'd see filemanager named sfil_app_name and the menus look all similar to that. DocScrutinizer05 meant: allegedly the translators would get confused when they had real | 12:24 |
| joerg | legible meaningful english texts like "filemanager" to translate, rather than "sfil_app_name"<< | 12:24 |
| xmn | joerg, thx for the links. | 17:31 |
| joerg | yw | 17:32 |
| joerg | hope it helps | 17:34 |
| xmn | I might just do a restore from backupmenu and be done with it :). But I can't remember if that fixed it or not. Just don't have time right now to keep searching. | 17:34 |
| joerg | check your $LANG setting and whether the locale blob is where it belongs to | 17:35 |
| joerg | enyc's comment regarding /etc/osso-af-init/locale seems promising | 17:37 |
| joerg | IroN900:~# ls -l /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive | 17:44 |
| joerg | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23911920 2010-02-19 11:58 /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive | 17:44 |
| xmn | Yeah my $LANG was en_US last I checked. | 17:45 |
| xmn | I should dbl check the permissions. | 17:45 |
| joerg | https://termbin.com/ojjz | 17:47 |
| xmn | 👍 | 17:49 |
| xmn | permission look good, but the osso af init had mixed countries. So as you said that could be the issues. | 17:52 |
| joerg | the /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is the big evil blob | 18:19 |
| joerg | and afaik still closed source and impossible to mess with | 18:20 |
| KotCzarny | why the fuck locales would be a closed source blob | 18:22 |
| xmn | hmmm, I remember getting mine down from 20+ to 1.2mb. I remeber remove all the extra lang the doing locale-gen then saving that file in another place to easily replace when ever an update added lang back. | 18:23 |
| xmn | Worked great for a long time. | 18:23 |
| xmn | Nice, changing the GB to US in the "/etc/osso-af-init/locale" did the trick!! Thank you joerg! | 18:23 |
| xmn | I just open it in leafpad, then did a locale-gen, rebooted .. good to go! | 18:24 |
| xmn | Happy to be done with that ... lol. Wish it still work as a main phone. Using my pinephone these days. | 18:25 |
| joerg | yw, glad it worked | 18:30 |
| * joerg makes a note to have a look into licale-gen | 18:31 | |
| joerg | locale-gen even | 18:31 |
| joerg | no idea where you found it | 18:32 |
| joerg | hmmmm https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/locale-gen.8.html | 18:36 |
| joerg | hmmhmmhmm >> The locale-gen program was originally written by Debian GNU libc maintainers, and has been improved by Denis Barbier <barbier@debian.org> for the belocs-locales-bin package<< | 18:38 |
| joerg | https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/8/locale-gen/ 2005 | 18:43 |
| joerg | wait no *what*? | 18:46 |
| joerg | aah yes, actually 2005 | 18:47 |
| joerg | March 2005 | 18:47 |
| joerg | xmn: could you find out where from (which package) you got the locale-gen executable? | 18:57 |
| xmn | You know I just assumed it was built-in. | 19:20 |
| xmn | I have no idea, It may have come as part of CSSU, or one of the many app I've installed over the years. | 19:21 |
| joerg | on my debian boxes it's installed, a shellscript | 19:22 |
| joerg | interesting, particularly since I never before heard of it | 19:22 |
| joerg | https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/locale-gen.git/tree/locale-gen | 19:29 |
| xmn | I'm no linux expert .. lol. | 20:26 |
| xmn | When I was using the n900 a lot I was trying to save space where ever I could. And keep all the other languages never made sense. They really should have include a setup wizard that give you the option to only install 1 lang. And a tool to remove them too :) | 20:27 |
| xmn | I had made a script for that, with med success. | 20:28 |
