While programs do lookup the LANG envvar, they do not recode properly. For example when I do: export LANG=bg_BG.CP1251 or export LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8 wget uses the bulgarian po-file translation, but it is not recoded properly and is just a Latin-1 dump of an UTF-8 file (the wget.mo is compiled from an properly encoded UTF-8 po file) In both cases: I get: $ touch кирил $ rm -v кирил removing `\352\350\360\350\353' I have installed libgettextpo0 - 0.12.1-3 libiconv2 - 1.9.1-3 libintl - 0.10.38.-3 libintl1 - 0.10.40-1 libintl2 - 0.12.1-3 locale database is part of libc. Where do I look for it in Cygwin? I have the sources for the Bulgarian locale. I could try to compile it. While under GNU/Linux I prefer UTF-8 locales, I have to use a CP1251 one under windows.
