## Ready commands
|

### Internationalish
|
||||
|
||||
`% sudo localectl set-locale LANG=en_GB.utf8 LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 LC_MONETARY=fi_FI.utf8 LC_NAME=fi_FI.utf8 LC_TELEPHONE=fi_FI.utf8`
|
||||
|
||||
- This will speak English, but use euros and other Finnish cultural defaults, while time is shown as ISO 8601.
|
||||
|
||||
### Finland Finnish
|
||||
|
||||
`% sudo localectl set-locale LANG=fi_FI.utf8 LC_TIME=fi_FI.utf8 LC_MONETARY=fi_FI.utf8 LC_NAME=fi_FI.utf8 LC_TELEPHONE=fi_FI.utf8`
|
||||
|
||||
## Explanations

||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
standards better than en_US.

Either I was wrong on it being list of fallback languages I wish to use, or
|
||||
GNOME has different view on it, but as I think I have seen errors related
|

to it before, I will drop `LANGUAGE` from the variables I set.
