(gettext.info)Setting the POSIX Locale
2.3 Setting the Locale through Environment Variables
====================================================
As a user, if your language has been installed for this package, in
the simplest case, you only have to set the ‘LANG’ environment variable
to the appropriate ‘LL_CC’ combination. For example, let’s suppose that
you speak German and live in Germany. At the shell prompt, merely
execute ‘setenv LANG de_DE’ (in ‘csh’), ‘export LANG; LANG=de_DE’ (in
‘sh’) or ‘export LANG=de_DE’ (in ‘bash’). This can be done from your
‘.login’ or ‘.profile’ file, once and for all.
