Whether the following information is complete or entirely correct or
contains redundancies I will leave for others to comment upon. In the
end, to completely install a working UTF-8 locale from a customized
source file in /usr/share/i18n/locales on both CentOS-5 and CentOS-6 I
had to do this:
localedef --replace -c -f UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd.utf8
localedef --no-archive -c -f UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-8
localedef --no-archive -c -f UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd.UTF8
localedef --no-archive -c -f UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-8
localedef --no-archive -c -f UTF-8 -i
/usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA@yyyy-mmm-dd
Evidently, the archived version is expected to have the extension
.utf8 but all the other aliased extensions are customarily expected as
well. I was unable to find where on the system said locale aliases
are kept however. The most likely candidate that I found was
/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias but I could find no entries therein
pertaining to my customized locales.
I would like to know the exact location where locale aliases are
stored on CentOS systems if someone in the know would share that
information.
