Locale problem

[Jagadesh]

Hi,

Iam using RedHat Advanced server 2.1. While installing i had selected the Japanese locales too. When i issue

#locale -a |grep ja
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.ujis
ja_JP.utf8
japanese
japanese.euc
japanese.sjis

Iam able to set the LANG variable to Japanese but after that i found that my error messages are not in japanese. It is displaying some Junk characters.
Kindly Help me out.

Thanks
Jagadesh.

Hello,

I believe the problem is that you also need to configure your terminal for the character encoding selected. For example, when using the linux console, you need something like:
#export LANG=ja_JP.utf8
#unicode_start
For x-windows, you need to configure your terminal appropriately.

Hope this helps,
