Subject: more internationalization options in /etc/login.conf please
Message-ID: <18048.65119.qm@web32706.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hello;

I don't usually play much with the i18n stuff mainly because it's difficult to set up. In the default /etc/login.conf there is an example for Russian, perhaps we could have more of those for other languages?

Here is an example for italian and I'd be interested in having entries for spanish an french too:

italiano|Account Utenti Italiani:\
        :charset=LANG it_IT.ISO8859-15:\
        :lang=LANG it_IT.ISO8859-15:\
        :tc=default:

cheers,

    Pedro.

ps. The next step would be to have an option to use this in sysinstall or whatever replaces it someday.

that is what I use for my german users:

german|German Users Accounts:\
        :charset=UTF-8:\
        :lang=de_DE.UTF-8:\
        :tc=default:

I have been using UTF-8 encoding for about a year now everywhere;
combined with an xterm using a good Unicode font and vim I have not
seen problems with that and see much less cases of unreadable garbage
in files. I use the font from x11-fonts/dejavu starting xterm with
parameter -fa 'DejaVu Sans Mono'.
