  Well, it _is_ boring to see the same questions asked again and again, and 
if this is the case, then this should be a good candidate for inclusion in
the FAQ (any FAQ mantainers here?)... As I said in my original posting I
_did_ searched through the FAQ and message archives with no success, so
thanks for bearing with this question _again_.

  Nevertheless, I would be a much happier person if I could understand your
answer :). Where is the default localizer configured and how could I 
reconfigure it ?  Any man pages, helps, FAQs or howtos on this ?

  Best regards,
