Hi,

I am developing a program that would ask the user to set the locale.

For that, I need to display them to user in plain english.

like

English(US)
English (Uk)

depending on the user selection I need to set the locale.

Is there a command in redhat linux that would display locales in more friendly mamner rather than like this "en-US.UTF-8"

Thanks,
sunny.

#!/bin/bash

function dump()
{
	export na_pre
	export na_pos
	export na_len
locale -a | while read na
do
	na_len=${#na}
	#until "_"
	na_pre=${na/_*//}
	na_pre=${#na_pre}
	#before "."
	na_pos=${na/?.*//}
	na_pos=${#na_pos}
	if (( na_len == na_pre || ne_len == na_pos ))
	then	#no include "_", "."
		continue
	fi

	#get length
	((na_pos = na_pos - na_pre))

	#(LANGUAGE NAME)=>L1 , (COUNTRY_NAME)=>L2
	LANG="$na" GET_LANGNAME="L1=`LANG=$LANG locale language` L2=${LANG:$na_pre:$na_pos} L3=${na/.*/}" && export $GET_LANGNAME
	echo $L1\($L2\)\/$L3
done
}

dump  | uniq | while read sel
do
	echo "$sel"
done
