Locale values for setlocale function

[[deleted]]

Hello

An example given in the manual for setlocale is :
setlocale ("LC_TIME", "fi_FI");
Where the second argument is the locale "code" or "name".

My question is : where do I find a list of locale names so that I can choose which locale to use?

Cheers
Kath

OK .... i'm an idiot... i just found the answer two lines below where I stopped reading on the php.net/manual page
Many thanks to Morgan Christiansson for this post

Hope that maybe this has helped someone... or at least given you a little chuckle at my expense =)

check /usr/share/locale/ if you want more info about the locale available
with your *NIX box

there is also a file called /usr/share/locale/locale.alias with a list of
aliases
such as swedish for sv_SE

Note: export LC_ALL=swedish made a lot of programs swedish for me, it's
also possible to make them russian or japanese 🙂
