[poky] Enabling UTF-8

[Keskinarkaus, Teemu]

Hi,

I did that and this was result: GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES="en_GB.UTF-8 en_GB en_US"

So for some reason en_US.UTF-8 was dropped. Also only en-gb made to actual image. I'm not sure if you can put more than one language in IMAGE_LINGUAS.

I read/heard somewhere that nowadays UTF-8 locales don't have UTF-8 in their filenames anymore but en_GB has also UTF-8. Seems that it defaults to POSIX - locale, but when I do  `locale en-gb` I get en-gb locale except I also get these errors:

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: unknown name "en-gb"

But if I connect to device with Putty configured to UTF-8 I can't use UTF-8 properly (I use Scandic characters (äö) to test with) even after manually setting locale to en-gb (there is no utf-8 names locale). They work just fine if I test in PC with Ubuntu.

check if this is really reflected in final metadata. you can check with

bitbake -e <your-image> | grep -e "^GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES="
