NAME
       locale.gen - Configuration file for locale-gen

DESCRIPTION
       The  file /etc/locale.gen lists the locales that are to be generated by
       the locale-gen command.

       Each line is of the form:

       <locale> <charset>

       where <locale> is one of the locales given  in  /usr/share/i18n/locales
       and    <charset>	  is   one   of	  the	character   sets   listed   in
       /usr/share/i18n/charmaps

       The locale-gen command will generate all the locales, placing  them  in
       /usr/lib/locale.

       Comments start with the hash mark # and may only be on new lines.

       Options	start with #% (to preserve backwards compatibility).  The only
       option currently recognized is no-locale-archive.   This	 will  disable
       generation  of  the  locale  archive file and instead generate multiple
       files/directories for each locale.
