There are many programs which can be affected by setting the $LC_* and $LANG variables accordingly. Also many of the desktop environments offer good language support, as do individual programs such as Firefox or Thunderbird. For example, you could alter those and put them into /etc/csh.cshrc (for making the language choice globally) or your ~/.cshrc (for your account only): #-------GERMAN+EURO--------------------------- setenv LC_ALL de_DE.ISO8859-15 setenv LC_COLLATE de_DE.ISO8859-15 setenv LC_CTYPE de_DE.ISO8859-15 setenv LC_MESSAGES de_DE.ISO8859-15 setenv LC_MONETARY de_DE.ISO8859-15 setenv LC_NUMERIC de_DE.ISO8859-15 setenv LC_TIME de_DE.ISO8859-15 Of course the C-shell resource file probably isn't the best place for those settings, but it works "too well". ;-) However, some things will still be in English. A good example are the manpages. Even though the Handbook and many other resources have been translated, the manpages have not. The idea behind this choice seems to be: Those who will read the manpages will understand English, and those who don't understand English probably won't want to look at manpages anyway. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
