[arch-general] custom localization
Hello archers . I want do a custom localization I am using cli on some applications . like neomutt for emails . my localization on /etc/locale.conf is LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 the time is 12 hour format When I compose email on neomutt it showing the 12hour format and the πμ (am ) and μμ (pm) I tried to add LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 on /etc/locale.conf . but the Greek characters on neomutt wasn't showing and instead greek characters showing with questionmarks . Is there any way to make the time fomart to be 24 hour and how I will do that and in neomutt showing the greek characters ? Thank you for your help -- Klearchos-Angelos Gkountras jemadux@cryptolab.net

I am just shooting from the hip ...but have you specified the right timezone? If I do $ echo $TZ it returns "Europe/Copenhagen", which is right for me. If you get something weird, try to set the TZ environment variable to "Europe/Athens" LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 is correct. You may also want to set some of the LC_* environment variables to the same value, e.g. LC_MESSAGES Morten

Hm, this returns a blank line for me. Since I'm happy with my timezone setting I got curious and checked the Wiki, which suggests timedatectl. This tool checks the current setting and you're able to change it: timedatectl status Local time: Di 2021-04-13 21:24:06 CEST Universal time: Di 2021-04-13 19:24:06 UTC RTC time: Di 2021-04-13 19:24:06 Time zone: Europe/Berlin (CEST, +0200) System clock synchronized: yes NTP service: active RTC in local TZ: no For more see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_time#Time_zone KR Frank
Yes mine too when I write $ echo $TZ returns blank .. but the main problem was to fix it from .muttrc . infos on archwiki i am sure that many wise men told rtfm / rtfw . i had to put set date_format="%y-%m-%d %T" set index_format="%2C | %Z [%d] %-30.30F (%-4.4c) %s" on muttrc . and now working absolutely fine .

Question marks usually indicates a wrong encoding. Do you have en_DK.UTF-8 built?
