Description Michael Pyne 2012-01-21 22:57:01 UTC

According to Oswald Buddenhagen the proper way to ensure that a program is run with untranslated output while still passing in filenames properly is to use LANG=C and then set LC_CTYPE to en_US.UTF-8 (so file names are read properly).

Other LC_* variables should be unset or set to C.

See: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-commits&m=132705138805806&w=2
and also the locale(7) manpage.

Git commit e67735091933090b76755bb98a36638826cfd633 by Michael Pyne.
Committed on 30/03/2012 at 02:21.
Pushed by mpyne into branch 'master'.

Port LC_ALL users to problem-specific functions.

This should hopefully fully fix bug 292143 (or at least, if it's still buggy,
it will be possible to fix in just one or two spots).
