Solaris locale 设置分两种情况：Partial locale Full locale
前者，可以在特定的locale执行程序，不过显示的信息是英文的，所以就是部分locale。
后者，Full locale，全部显示的都是你特定选择的区域语言。
只安装software 的盘，就会出现前者的情况。

如何管理locale信息
locale -a，显示安装的语言包信息
ls /usr/lib/locale，可以在该目录下查看有哪些语言包已经安装
locale -ck -decimal_point
修改locale
首先需要安装相应语言包然后vi /etc/TIMEZONE ,LANG=something
或localeadm
----------------------------
Locale 简单说就是一组「地区语言」的资讯。它包括了
LC_CTYPE: 字符定义
LC_MESSAGES: 讯息显示
LC_TIME: 时间显示格式
LC_NUMERIC: 数字显示格式
LC_MONETARY: 货币显示格式
LC_COLLATE: 字母顺序与字符串比较
其中，与一般使用者最有关系的，是 LC_CTYPE 与 LC_MESSAGES 。
LC_CTYPE 直接关系到某些字符或内码在目前的locale 下是否可印? 要如何转换? 对应到那一个字? .... 等等。
LC_MESSAGES 则关系到软体的讯息输出是什么样的语文。真正完整的locale 支持，是当我们在shell prompt下，直接设好环境变数，则我们马上就能切换到那个语言。

Solaris Locale 的设置方法如下
（1）查看当前locale 状态：
# locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE= "en_US"
LC_NUMERIC= "en_US"
LC_TIME= "en_US"
LC_COLLATE= "en_US"
LC_MONETARY= "en_US"
LC_MESSAGES= "en_US"
LC_ALL=en_US
（2）查看系统中已安装的语言包：
# locale -a
（3）用户自定义locale ：
For: sh, ksh, bash
# LANG=C; export LANG
# LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
For: csh:
# setenv LANG C
# setenv LC_ALL
（4）或者编辑环境文件，只对当前用户有效：
$HOME/.profile or $HOME/.cshrc
或，更改系统默认的locale ， 修改文件：
vi /etc/default/init
example:
# Lines of this file should be of the form VAR=value, where VAR is one of
# TZ, LANG, or any of the LC_* environment variables.
LANG=C
LC_ALL=C
附录 ：
You can change your system locale on UNIX and Linux systems.
You can set environment variables to control the system locale . You can set these variables to be system-wide, or on a per-session basis:
LC_ALL
Overrides all LC_* environment variables with the given value
LC_CTYPE
Character classification and case conversion
LC_COLLATE
Collation (sort) order
LC_TIME
Date and time formats
LC_NUMERIC
Non-monetary numeric formats
LC_MONETARY
Monetary formats
LC_MESSAGES
Formats of informative and diagnostic messages, and of interactive responses
LC_PAPER
Paper size
LC_NAME
Name formats
LC_ADDRESS
Address formats and location information
LC_TELEPHONE
Telephone number formats
LC_MEASUREMENT
Measurement units (Metric or Other)
LC_IDENTIFICATION
Metadata about the locale information
LANG
The default value, which is used when either LC_ALL is not set, or an applicable value for LC_* is not set
NLSPATH
Delimited list of paths to search for message catalogs
TZ
Time zone
LC_MESSAGES and NLSPATH are the most important variables to the broker. These variables define the language and location of response messages that the broker uses. The broker profile file, mqsiprofile, sets NLSPATH. Either you, or your system must set LC_MESSAGES. The value set in LC_MESSAGES must be a value that the broker recognizes. LC_CTYPE is also important to the broker because it defines the character conversion that the broker performs when interacting with the local environment.
If you use common desktop environment (CDE), use this environment to set the locale instead of setting LANG and LC_ALL directly. The NLSPATH variable respects either method. Before setting the code page, check that it is one of the Supported code pages.
For example, to set WebSphere® Message Broker to run in a UTF-8 environment set the following values in the profile:
LANG=en_US.utf-8
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8
Where en_US sets the language, and utf-8 sets the code page.
