Coming from Linux Mint or Ubuntu or Xubuntu, it is trivial to change language and regional settings there, but in Fedora, to change the language settings, open a terminal window, and enter the following per requirement.
To list the current locale:
$ locale <enter>
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE=”en_US.utf8″
LC_NUMERIC=en_IN.UTF8
LC_TIME=en_IN.UTF8
LC_COLLATE=”en_US.utf8″
LC_MONETARY=en_IN.UTF8
LC_MESSAGES=”en_US.utf8″
LC_PAPER=”en_US.utf8″
LC_NAME=”en_US.utf8″
LC_ADDRESS=”en_US.utf8″
LC_TELEPHONE=”en_US.utf8″
LC_MEASUREMENT=”en_US.utf8″
LC_IDENTIFICATION=”en_US.utf8″
LC_ALL=
To setup the locale globally:
$ vi /etc/locale.conf <enter>
Add in the following lines:
LANG=”en_IN.UTF8″
LC_NUMERIC=”en_IN.UTF8″
LC_TIME=”en_IN.UTF8″
LC_MONETARY=”en_IN.UTF8″
:wq
Locale can also be set for a user by adding the above lines in the ~/.bashrc file.
