Operating Systems Solaris /etc/default/init LANG Setting Not Working
# 8  
Old 11-16-2015
Okay, so that pointed me in the right direction. My terminal is sending the en_US.UTF-8 LANG setting.

What was curious the same configuration didn't produce the same results on the old server. What I found was that the old server didn't have the en_US.UTF-8 locale installed. So the terminal was attempting to set it but it wasn't accepted on the other side and dropped to the C locale by default.

Code:
bash-3.2# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_CA
en_CA.ISO8859-1
en_CA.UTF-8
en_US
en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US.ISO8859-15
en_US.ISO8859-15@euro
es
es_MX
es_MX.ISO8859-1
es_MX.UTF-8
fr
fr_CA
fr_CA.ISO8859-1
fr_CA.UTF-8
iso_8859_1

The new server has the locale after installing the North America (nam) region from disk. Doesn't look like I can remove en_US.UTF-8 without removing the entire nam region according to localeadm. Had the same trouble when attempting to just install en_US. I had to install all of nam.

Guess I just need to override it in the profiles for the application. Thanks for your help guys.

locale

LOCALE(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 LOCALE(1)

NAME

     locale -- display locale settings

SYNOPSIS

     locale [-a|m]
     locale [-ck] name [...]

DESCRIPTION

     locale displays information about the current locale, or a list of all available locales.

     When locale is run with no arguments, it will display the current source of each locale category.

     When locale is given the name of a category, it acts as if it had been given each keyword in that category.  For each keyword it is given,
     the current value is displayed.

OPTIONS

     -a       Lists all public locales.

     -c name ...
	      Lists the category name before each keyword, unless it is the same category as the previously displayed keyword.

     -k name ...
	      Displays the name of each keyword prior to its value.

     -m       Lists all available public charmaps.  Darwin locales do not support charmaps, so list all CODESETs instead.

OPERANDS

     The following operand is supported:

     name is the name of a keyword or category to display.  A list of all keywords and categories can be shown with the following command:

     locale -ck LC_ALL

ENVIRONMENT

     LANG	  Used as a substitute for any unset LC_* variable.  If LANG is unset, it will act as if set to "C".  If any of LANG or LC_* are
		  set to invalid values, locale acts as if they are all unset.

     LC_ALL	  Will override the setting of all other LC_* variables.

     LC_COLLATE   Sets the locale for the LC_COLLATE category.

     LC_CTYPE	  Sets the locale for the LC_CTYPE category.

     LC_MESSAGES  Sets the locale for the LC_MESSAGES category.

     LC_MONETARY  Sets the locale for the LC_MONETARY category.

     LC_NUMERIC   Sets the locale for the LC_NUMERIC category.

     LC_TIME	  Sets the locale for the LC_TIME category.

SEE ALSO

     localedef(1), localeconv(3), nl_langinfo(3), setlocale(3)

STANDARDS

     The locale utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     locale appeared in Mac OS X 10.4
