Does it? Even if I'm running a german OS, I absolutely hate to see
german diagnostic output from gcc, and I absolutely hate certain
programs using non-ASCII chars in output. (In)famous examples are
Unicode quoting chars rather than ' or ", or using the Unicode hyphen
character rather than -. But that's just me.
You got used to ASCII, like all the old-timers... ;)
export LANG=C is your solution.
By the way, I noticed that with the default locale C.UTF-8 the
nl_langinfo(CODESET) C function <langinfo.h> returns wrongly
"ISO-8859-1", while if I set LANG to nl_NL.UTF-8 nl_langinfo(CODESET)
returns correctly "UTF-8".
The locale command returns LC_ CTYPE="C.UTF-8" and LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8".
