I have en_US-UTF-8 set as the default locale. I want to use en_DK-UTF-8 formatting for LC_TIME and LC_MEASUREMENT.
I followed the directions here: wiki but it had not effect. What is going on? How can I set this?
I am using up to date Debian 8.

How do I set en_DK-UTF-8 for LC_TIME?

...well a quick search cleared that up, i found:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... ish-locale
summary:
- en_DK-UTF-8 has been dropped
- en_IE-UTF-8 does the same (and i'm using that on my system for precisely the same reason)

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think you understand my question.debiman wrote:English in Denmark?

I want to use en_DK.utf8 for the LC_TIME variable while en_US.utf8 is being used as system default. This wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/Locale#First_day_of_week) indicates that it can be done. But the described method does not work (so I assume it's out of date). I am looking for how to accomplish it on Debian 8 Stable.

Yeah, that looks to be it. Thanks! But I find it hard to believe that that is the "proper" way to set that. That is rather involved and there should be a simpler way. This is what I'm looking for. For example, the debian wiki says to simply edit /etc/default/locale. this is much more reasonable.phenest wrote:Is this related?

I have discovered why editing /etc/default/locale appears to not work. It is working but something in the GNOME DE is overriding the PAM environment Debian is setting. So the real solution to this problem may lie with GNOME.

If you want a "proper" way to do this specifically for Gnome, then look at this:kcbagr wrote:Thanks! But I find it hard to believe that that is the "proper" way to set that.

If you're Gnome user, it's even more involved. I like one of the comments from that link:kcbagr wrote:That is rather involved and there should be a simpler way.
Still, as I always say, if it's a one off, it's worth doing. (Actually, that's the first time I've said that.)I'm sure if they try really hard, they could make setting up custom locales just a little bit harder still.

Re: How do I set en_DK-UTF-8 for LC_TIME?
I actually already tried that before posting here. I could not get that to work, specifically I could never get the custom file to appear in /etc/locale.gen. do you know how to do that? I followed the directions carefully with localedef etc.phenest wrote: If you want a "proper" way to do this specifically for Gnome, then look at this:

Lol. Yes, GNOME is idiotic about this. every other OS allows people to change format of date, but not GNOME.phenest wrote: If you're Gnome user, it's even more involved.

I just made a stab in the dark and...
dconf-editor > /system/locale/region
Is that what you're looking for?
