How to change to US english?

KiatLeong Len — Mon, 15 Oct 2001 08:31:59 GMT

I installed HP-UX 10.20 into my B2000 machine. During installation, i choose UK english instead of US english. How can i change it to US english after the installation has finished?
Thanks.

Hi,
Try this:
1. Boot up in single-user mode.

2. rm /etc/kbdlang

3. Edit your /etc/rc.config.d/LANG file and comment out or remove
this entry:

LANG=

4. Reboot your system; because of a missing /etc/kbdlang and the
LANG= entry of /etc/rc.config.d/LANG, the system will boot up in
English, by default.

Best of Luck

Hi,

Try something like this:

/usr/bin/locale -a

identify the us english. on my hp running hpux 11.00 it is en_US.iso88591.

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/LANG and replace whatever it is there with the us english locale.

Hope it helps. Also read the man pages of locale, localedef and rc.config.

Best regards,

Eugen

Oh, a reboot might help after the modifications, I think.

Hello,

it depends on where/what you want to change:
- your keyboard
- the display/output of programs

The answer for the first is the file "/etc/kbdlang" as correctly mentioned above.
The answer for the second would be the file "/etc/rc.config.d/LANG", where you
would have to midfy the variable "LANG".

HTH,
