SV: [GRASS-stats] Sys.setlocale for GRASS6.4

[Roger Bivand]

OK, don't worry about that. I'll try to send an updated spgrass6 when I have adequate net access. The problem is that GRASS writes UTF-8 as the encoding into the XML header from --nterface-description, but the French translations seem (on my XP machine) to be in latin1, that is the 0x.. spell eacute (\'{e}) in latex, then "fin" from "défine...", the first non-ASCII string in the output for g.region.
 
The fix is to insert "latin1" into the header, so I've updated the package to allow the user to do this from within R

Emne: [GRASS-stats] Sys.setlocale for GRASS6.4



Good afternoon,

Sorry bothering you with this on the list, but one of you might know how to list the locale available on my computer.
In order to try running GRASS6.4 on my machine (with windows XP), Markus Neteler advised me I needed to set locale to "French_France.UTF8"

I tried Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", locale="French_France.UTF8") but R doesn't seem to find this setting
Warning message:
In Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_ALL", locale = "French_France.UTF8") :
  la requête OS pour spécifier la localisation à "French_France.UTF8" n'a pas pu être honorée, the warning message meaning the request was not available.

How do I check I can use the locale proposed ? Shall I download it from somewhere or change something on windows ?

Thanks for any hints

Alex
