polices

[Julie YACINE]

hello,
I make some programs onto a hp station which turns with UH-UX 10.20.
The police on this station is american.american.hp8.
I'm french so my programs contain some accents...
I work with others persons who program onto pc whith Linux Fedora Core 1.
The police on these pc is fr_FR.UTF-8.
The problem is that accents are not well convert from one to the other.
Does anybody can help me to keep my accents?

regards,
Julie.
ps : sorry for my english...

hi,

i don't know how to set it.you can find the spcific locale (fr_FR.UTF-8) is available or not in your system by
locale -a command.

Hello,

to view your current settings type

# locale

after to modify your locale go to /etc/rc.config.d and edit LANG file

set LANG to the locale you want and restart your session.

If it doesn't work and if you can it's better rebooting your system...

hello evrybody,
thank you to help me!
the news are:
locale on my hp-ux gives:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY=C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TYME="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=
in /etc/rc.config.d/LANG everything is with coments.

with Linux:
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=POSIX
LC_TYME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
/etc/sysconfig/i18n contains:
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

i tried to change LANG onto Linux by doing export LANG=xxx to read an hp file with others polices (existing in locale -a) but i dont find the good one, so i will try to change onto the station...
I'll be back.

to change onto your station edit .profile and add this two lines:

LANG="xxx"
export LANG

Stf ;-)

thank you,
i changed LANG to fr_FR.iso885915@euro onto Linux and onto the station (by editing de .profile) and i can use accents on both!!

[Julie YACINE]

the variable LANG has to be the same onto the two station.
to know the posibilities to this variableyou have to use the locale command.
