Well, not quite. Cygwin is following Linux here: linux$ locale -av [...] locale: ru_RU archive: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive ---------------------------------------------------------------------- title | Russian locale for Russia source | RAP address | Sankt Jorgens Alle 8, DK-1615 Kobenhavn V, Danmark email | bug-glibc-locales AT gnu DOT org language | Russian territory | Russia revision | 1.0 date | 2000-06-29 codeset | ISO-8859-5 cygwin$ locale -av [...] locale: ru_RU archive: /mnt/c/WINDOWS/system32/KERNEL32.DLL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- language | Russian territory | Russia codeset | ISO-8859-5 > Cygwin docs state that >=20 > > Starting with Cygwin 1.7.2, the default character set is determined by = the default Windows ANSI codepage for this language and territory. You missed to read on: Cygwin uses a character set which is the typical Unix-equivalent to the Windows ANSI codepage. For instance: [...] > which is not true in my case (Windows ANSI codepage for Cyrillic is > CP1251, not ISO-8859-5!). Rephrasing the above, Cygwin only uses the ANSI codepage to fetch the default Linux codepage from there. Maybe the documentation is a bit fuzzy, but it didn't say the charset is set *to* the Windows ANSI charset, it just *uses* the information to compute and set the codeset to the equivalent Linux codeset. > Surprisingly, for Belarusian (a.k.a > Belorussian, Eastern Slavic language very close to Russian) "be_BY" > locale the default charset is indeed CP1251 which is in accordance with > both the documentation and common sense. See the docs: The default charset of the "be_BY" locale (Belarusian/Belarus) is CP1251. With the "@latin" modifier it's UTF-8. Just as on Linux. > Despite that, $(locale -u) returns "en_GB", despite all regional > settings are set to Russian/Russia. I believe this is not correct, > either, and needs to be fixed. The locale is directly taken from the Windows system function GetUserDefaultUILanguage() in case of the -u option(*), and from GetUserDefaultLCID() in case of the -f option(**). This value is then fed into the Windows function GetLocaleInfo()(***) to fetch language and territory codes and that's what locale -u/-f prints. So, looks like you're using a UK-english system with just the region settings changed to Russia. In general UTF-8 is the preferred codeset so setting LANG to ru_RU.utf8 (locale -fU should work for you) is the better choice.
