Ok, I got it to work good enough using .login_conf like you said now. I had already tried that, so I don't know what was wrong before. Both accents and extra letters now work in sh, csh and vi, but not in ed and cdcontrol, I also see the "£" isn't working in ttyv, but unless someone has a quick solution for those problems, I won't care about that for now. The translation of FreeBSD itself to Norwegian is started it seems, but it looks like it's still over 99% in English. However, this means all new programs I install from ports or packages who are translated, like Firefox, will be in Norwegian, right? Also, when I type locale, I can see some of the values are inside quotes for some reason (it's not written like that in the .login_conf file), and some are not, the values with quotes don't set the variables, like $LC_TIME. But $LANG and $LC_ALL work, so it's probably no problem there.home | help
