Envariable: M2H_LANG=locale
Element: <LANG>
locale
</LANG>
Command-line Option: -lang locale

Description

LANG sets the locale. Setting the locale affects the following MHonArc operations:

Message sorting: Locale properties for string collation are applied when sorting messages by subject or author.
Resource file loading: If a locale is specified, locale defined variations will be checked for. See RCFILE for more information.

The basic format for specifying a locale is:

language_country.codeset

Where codeset and country are optional. The language and country are usually from the standards ISO 3166 and ISO 639, the two-letter abbreviations for the countries and the languages of the world, respectively. The codeset represents a specific character encoding, like ISO8859-1. You will need to consult your local system documentation for what locales, and their formats, are supported on your system.

Default Setting

The value of the LC_ALL or LANG environment variables.

Resource Variables

N/A
