Hello ev'ry one, I've reinstalled my system today and made all configs needed. As i'm brazilian, i need to set my system to pt-br and my keyboard to abnt2 (br), and so I did throughout /etc/rc.conf (LOCALES = pt_BR.UTF-8) and also /etc/locale.gen, where i uncomment both pt_BR options. After doing so, my system keep mixing the two languages, even after commenting en_US options in "/etc/locale.gen".
My rc.conf looks like this:
LOCALE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="America/Sao_Paulo"
KEYMAP="br-abnt2"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
and my locale.gen is like this:
#en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_US ISO-8859-1
(...)
pt_BR.UTF-8 UTF-8
pt_BR ISO-8859-1
How can i solve this?
Grats

Have you tried to put
DAEMON_LOCALE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
as well?

Sidenote: many apps are not translated.

what does "mixing" mean?
what DE or WM are you using?
and also bear in mind that some aplications use a separated package for other languages.
if firefox (for example) is in english, you need to install the pt-br package to fix that (firefox-i18n-pt-br).
or is it a keyboard layout problem?
if you're using gnome and gdm, set "abnt2 (br)" in the login screen (by clicing the kblayout option in the bottom of the screen) and also change it in the keyboard configuration once logged in.
if you only do it when you're logged in, gdm will set it back to english every time you log in (ie every time gdm is run).

there was no effect.
Mr. Elendig, that's not the first time I installed gnome (arch) and the previous system were entirelly translated. That's why I ain't getting the point now.

So is it just gnome stuff that's bi-lingual. Which version of gnome do you have? If it's 3, maybe not everything has been translated yet.

By mixing I meant both languages at same time, which do not happened in previous instalations. Some parts are in portuguese, just like my aplicatives but others remain in english. I'm not using gdm as login manager. I'm actually starting system manually by startx, via ~/.xinitrc. About my keyboard, i'm facing problems to set it up. Again, i used to take it working and reconigzed automatically by adding "setxkbmap -model abnt2 br" in my session applications. Now it doesn't works, so I must set my kb every time o log the system in.
No virtual machines. The system is installed on my laptop.

Gnome 2.32 i guess. Gnome3 is in beta stage yet i think (not available at oficial repos.)

# DAEMON_LOCALE: Set the locale during daemon startup and during the boot process. If set to 'no', the C locale will be used.
so in here you answer with yes/no.
and gnome 3 is out.. you really should upgrade your system.

My bad. You're right. Not using it myself, so ...

Yes, but only in testing. So unless you're using that repo there is no need to update.

gnome3 is placed in testing repository. I`m not using it. By the way, i`ve seen some people trying it out and getting some bugs, what is natural considering is a beta version we are talking about. I`ll test when it came to oficial repos.
EDIT: I end up reinstalling the entire system. No regrets about it 'cuz I think I've found the point. At first post I've posted my rc.conf contents and it was looking like it:
LOCALE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="no"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="America/Sao_Paulo"
KEYMAP="br-abnt2"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
This time it came a bit different. Now it's like this:
#
LOCALE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="America/Sao_Paulo"
KEYMAP="br-abnt2"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess the missing line (daemon_locale) was the problem. Not shure, but now my system is entirelly in portuguese.
I'd like to thanks everyone for the support u gave me. Thanks a lot.
