I think the more portable way to discover what locale names the OS knows is "locale -a" ... /etc/locale.gen doesn't exist on my machines. FWIW, on the machines I have access to, "sv_SE.iso88591" seems to be the standard spelling for this locale name; for instance on Fedora Core 5 $ locale -a | grep sv sv_FI sv_FI.iso88591 sv_FI.iso885915@euro sv_FI.utf8 sv_FI@euro sv_SE sv_SE.iso88591 sv_SE.iso885915 sv_SE.utf8 $ regards, tom lane
