This article explains how to set up language and locale for the entire system and apps in particular.
Locale
Locale names are typically of the form language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]
, where language is an ISO 639 language code, territory is an ISO 3166 country code, and codeset is a character set or encoding identifier like ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8.
To set up your locale you need to change LANG and LC_COLLATE in /etc/profile.d/locale.sh file.
Config for Russian language, for example:
/etc/profile.d/locale.sh
export CHARSET=UTF-8 export LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 export LC_COLLATE=ru_RU
From now software, that has the translations files will use selected language.
Languages packages
In Alpine Linux, translations for applications are shipped in a separate package with -lang at the end of their name. Usually, it can be easily found by $ apk list packagename-lang
or $ apk list packagename-lang-*
, if each language ships in separate package (like libreoffice).
The list below contains useful information about some language packages.
MATE
Run # apk add $(apk list mate-*-lang | grep -o "^[A-Za-z\-]*" | rev | cut -c 2- | rev) && apk add caja-lang
. This will find and install all necessarry packages automaticly. All applets (network-manager, etc.) also needs their lang packages.
