2.3 Setting the Locale through Environment Variables
As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, in the
simplest case, you only have to set the LANG environment variable
to the appropriate ‘ll_CC’ combination. For example,
let’s suppose that you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell
prompt, merely execute
‘setenv LANG de_DE’ (in csh),
‘export LANG; LANG=de_DE’ (in sh) or
‘export LANG=de_DE’ (in bash). This can be done from your
.login or .profile file, once and for all.
