Archlinux in another language

Hi,
i used some times ago localepurge and i leave on the system only en, en_US and en_us.UTF-8. Now i would like to put the whole system in italian. So in /etc/locale.gen i uncommented the 3 proper lines referring to italian it_it; then on root locale-gen and put in rc.conf it_IT.utf-8 but didn't work and the system stay (obviously) in english. In gnome 3 region languages menu under system settings can only see english and connot add or remove any languages. How to solve, i mean to have the whole language in italian?
Thanks

Re: Archlinux in another language

Did you reboot or log out and set LC_ALL yourself?

Re: Archlinux in another language

if you have used localepurge.. you have lost all language files commented on locale.gen

afaik you have to reinstall every app you want in italian (pacman -Sf thunderbird...)

Re: Archlinux in another language

thanks for the answear. And yes i reboot maybe 30 times till 2 months ago when i used localepurge. I also thought that i have to reinstall every program (like man-pages) to re-have italian language... By now, i have to choice:

1: wait that all the programs will be updated and just regenerate everytime there is an update and slowly obtain italian languages programs, or
2: reinstall the whole system!! BAD CHOICE.... but i'm lucky because i only want only few programs, like libreoffice, in italian so there is the libreoffice-it on the repo..

Thanks!

How about you "pacman -S `pacman -Qqe`"? Won't work if you have packages not in the repos installed, though.
