Also you can probably disable en_US completely. Most applications use english as the build in locale (locale C), so there is no need to enable it, as faar as I have understood.
This is right, but the "C" locale uses US-ASCII, not UTF-8 (although Debian has "C.UTF-8").
So I would /not/ recommend setting "C" as $LANG. (Or as anything else, except $LC_COLLATE).

OK, thnak you for your answer. I thought I had to write more lines in locale.conf because of all my locale.gen. So I sticked to basic : LANG=en_US.UTF8 LC_COLLATE=C
As suggested, I commented in locale.gen all ISO files, except the one with the euro symbol, and decided to let english.
Regards.
Unless I forgot to read some post I guess no one stated what seems to me to be the most straightforward way of doing it.
If you have your system working to your preference (before having anything in locale.conf), check the output of 'locale' and copy it to locale.conf.

Mauro, you are right as I am still confused! Most of my readings let me to just write: LANG=en_US.UTF8 LC_COLLATE=C But by curiousity, I am now trying LANG=fr_CH.UTF8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 and will see in the coming days if any issue arrise. I thought the answer to my question would be more trivial, but I was wrong! Thank you again. Regards.
