    335       <para>This script shows how to set some environment variables necessary for
    336       native language support. Setting these variables properly gives you:</para>
    337 
    338       <itemizedlist>
    339         <listitem>
    340           <para>the output of programs translated into your native language</para>
    341         </listitem>
    342         <listitem>
    343           <para>correct classification of characters into letters, digits and
    344           other classes &ndash; this is necessary for <application>Bash</application>
    345           to accept keystrokes properly in non-English locales</para>
    346         </listitem>
    347         <listitem>
    348           <para>the alphabetical sorting order correct for your country</para>
    349         </listitem>
    350         <listitem>
    351           <para>proper default paper size</para>

    357 
    358       <para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;ll&gt;</replaceable> with the two-letter code for
    359       your language (e.g., <quote>en</quote>) and
    360       <replaceable>&lt;CC&gt;</replaceable> with the two-letter code for your country
    361       (e.g., <quote>GB</quote>). Also you may need to specify (and this is actually
    362       the preferred form) your character encoding (e.g., <quote>iso8859-1</quote>)
    363       after a dot (so that the result is <quote>en_GB.iso8859-1</quote>). Issue the
    364       following command for more information:</para>
    365 
    366 <screen><userinput>man 3 setlocale</userinput></screen>
    367 
    368       <para>The list of all locales supported by <application>Glibc</application>
    369       can be obtained by running the following command:</para>

    372 
    373       <para>After you are sure about your locale settings, create the
    374       <filename>/etc/profile.d/i18n.sh</filename> file:</para>
     335      <para>This script sets an environment variable necessary for
     336      native language support. A full discussion on determining this
     337      variable can be found on the <ulink
