Salutations,

I just tested changing "/etc/locale.conf" to use 'LANG="es_ES.UTF-8"'
and got a gnome message to change folders to Spanish names. However,
when switching tty, I found that the names were in English (but I didn't
translate my folder names to Spanish). How do you know that the tty is
in English?
Can you try the output of something like: $ which stuff
?

Regards,
Mark
