UNIX and Linux Applications

I don't know if this is the correct thread to post. If not tell me please.

I have a script to make some queries to a Spanish Dictionay (Real Academia Española) as follows:

Code:

lynx -dump --nolist "buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?TIPO_ HTML=2&LEMA="$1

It works this way:

Code:

./rae word

But when looking at the result of my query is doesn't displays this character: ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú... for example. Do I have to change a variable in my OS? What do I have to do?

Thanks in advance,

try

Code:

LANG=es_ES

(I don't have a Spanish keyboard, but a German one and my LANG was en_US. I changed this to de_DE, and I was able to display German characters).

(this may vary depending on your OS, but have a look at /etc/gdm/locale)
