Maybe it's because you're using a login shell: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 29#p834929

How did you try to change LC_MESSAGES language?

Re: [SOLVED] .bashrc on framebuffer (outside X)

ok, the other thread helped. I just created a .bash_profile file in /root/ containing:

. $HOME/.bashrc

I set LC_MESSAGES by

export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8

as I prefere to have english output form programms, thats much better if something goes wrong.. the rest of the system is set german in /etc/rc.conf

thanks a lot!
