Message-ID: Date: 31 May 90 02:15:26 GMT Sender: news@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu Organization: Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp. Lines: 18 I have just started trying to get the Native Language Support working for our site. We have many french speaking users, so I though, what a good idea. After snooping around manuals for a while I tried "LANG=french date" and this worked great. Then, since most of the other Unix man pages claimed to know about the LANG environment variable, I started trying other commands. Basically, they all kept using english. After a little more looking around I found the /usr/lib/nls directory. It has a directory "C" that contains many cat files, for most of the normal unix commands. Right next to this directory is the "french" directory, but it is basically empty. So my questions are, am I missing some files? or is HP missing some of my $'s? or is this vaporware? thanks, steve -- Steven S. Smith Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp. steve@cfht.hawaii.edu
