How to change the system language in Solaris

A Solaris system was installed on the virtual machine, but when the connection with the client was garbled, Google a bit and the problem was fixed. So tidy up, and then spare.

1, the language environment includes language specification, region, code set and other characteristics. The Solaris operating environment in Simplified Chinese includes the following locales:

c--to the English ASCII environment, the locale must be set to C.

zh--for the Simplified Chinese EUC environment, the locale must be set to En.

Zh. gbk--for the Simplified Chinese GBK environment, the locale must be set to En. GBK.

Zh. utf-8--for the Simplified Chinese Unicode environment, the locale must be set to En. UTF-8.

2, the kind is the characteristic set that composes the language environment. For example, a character display or a time/date expression whose performance depends on the locale. The Solaris categories in Simplified Chinese include the following:

LC_CTYPE sets the type of character to classify and convert.

Lc_time sets the locale used to express dates and times.

Lc_numeric sets the locale of the digital expression (also for I/O).

Lc_monetary sets the language environment for currency expression.

Lc_messages the locale to which messages are set to the user.

Lc_collate sets the string proofing that depends on the locale.

environment variable Lc_all explicitly sets the same locale for all kinds; It has the highest priority. If the kind or lc_all is not set, the LANG environment variable determines the type setting.

Users can use shell environment variables to change locale settings. Each kind names an existing language environment. The setlocale () function directly sets or queries these kinds of settings. Internationalized features use these settings to access the appropriate table for the locale you want.

Environment variables can be used to set types indirectly: When setlocale () sets the type to the default setting for that location, it uses the set value of each environment variable to set the related kind. The setlocale () function does not change the setting values of environment variables, but only reads their set values.

3, Examples:

Use the following steps to change the system-wide default locale.

#chmod U+w/etc/default/init

#vi/etc/default/init

$ cat Init
