I'm used to environment variables such as LANG
and LC_*
, but I recently noticed a LANGUAGE
variable on my Ubuntu desktop. It's value was pt_BR:pt:en
, and I'm wondering exactly what is meaning is. LANG
, for one thing, was pt_BR.UTF-8
, so if that first field is supposed to be the default locale/charset, it was at odds with was LANG
set.
So, what's the exact meaning and format of LANGUAGE
?
