[Deganawida-sysadmin] Re: Language Issues (revisited)

[christopher mitchell]

spud,

I did the locate se_SE and it returned nothing.  So I poked around and found 
that there are some relevant files in /usr/share/locale 
I think they are relevant.  Then I tried to find anything that was utf8 and 
came up pretty much empty.

A locate *utf8 turned up only stuff that was in the trees of installed sites 
for instance:
/home/dadaIMC/twincities/locale/ca_ES.utf8

does this suggest that we have not installed the requisite utf8 files on the 
server?  Is there a port we should add?
