How to add new locale to system?

[Igor Sovin]

Hi all!

I've just compiled new locale ru_RU.utf8
How to add it to system, so I can see it in locale -a output?

Im not 100% sure, but I think if you place the file in the directory

/usr/lib/nls/loc


Then look for the symbolic link to the locales

ie
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26 Feb 12 16:23 locales -> /usr/lib/nl
s/loc/locales.2

So place the new file in locales.2

It should then show up in locale -a

Hope this helps ?
