It's driving me crazy. I may be missing something here, but GNOME doesn't provide en_US translations at all. With a lack of explicit en_US definitions, it falls back on C. The output of locale(1) doesn't look incorrect (my output contains quotes as well, and my locale settings work fine for me): monkey@smacky:~% locale LANG=en_CA.ISO8859-1 LC_CTYPE="en_CA.ISO8859-1" LC_COLLATE="en_CA.ISO8859-1" LC_TIME="en_CA.ISO8859-1" LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.ISO8859-1" LC_MONETARY="en_CA.ISO8859-1" LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.ISO8859-1" LC_ALL= # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx
