Title: Solved! - How works the locale.tcz files?
Post by: Onyarian on January 23, 2010, 05:53:20 AM

Please,
Could someone explain how locale files work and how to set tc for this?

For example, I load leafpad.tcz and leafpad-locale.tcz and I see no difference in the menus, always are coming in English.

Thanks.

You would set the variable LANG to a suitable value, so that apps know which locale you want.

eg. in ~/.profile:
export LANG=es_ES@euro

or with a boot code:
tinycore lang=es_ES@euro

Using a locale also requires that glibc has support for it, see this thread:

Edit: added boot param
