Title: Simple and stupid but important tip for beginners
Post by: Normando on March 20, 2005, 08:29:37 PM

In my server I actualize the version of MC, and inspecting the content of the rpm I realized that it could use it in my language. When looking for inside the directory "LOCALE" under /usr/share directory I discovered that several translations exist of many of the programs that I use.  
Already you that this seems very silly, but shone my eyes when discovering them.  
Looking for in the maillist of MC to be able to change it to my language, I also read that it could change all that was translated to my language in the following way typing in command shell:  
export LC_ALL=es_ES
Then when start MC this in my language, WGET and  VI too.  
Alone I have a question to make.  
When I close the putty shell, and I enter again, I see that I lost all the changes returning to the original language (English).  
Is there some form so that these changes are fixed, unless I want to revert them?
Thanks
