Let's get ready for the exercise by ensuring that we have the following applications and supporting libraries installed:
$ sudo apt-get install -y gettext
Next, verify your language environment variables (LANG):
$ localeLANG=en_CA:enLANGUAGE=en_CA:enLC_CTYPE="en_CA:en"LC_NUMERIC="en_CA:en"LC_TIME="en_CA:en"LC_COLLATE="en_CA:en"LC_MONETARY="en_CA:en"LC_MESSAGES="en_CA:en"LC_PAPER="en_CA:en"LC_NAME="en_CA:en"LC_ADDRESS="en_CA:en"LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA:en"LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA:en"LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA:en"LC_ALL=
We're assuming your environment probably has some form of English set as the default (en_CA:en is Canadian English)—keep note of the values returned for later!
You may need to recover your language and locale settings later ...
