I want my system messages in English, but everything else about how
dates, money and paper sizes are formatted to reflect where I actually
live. Here’s the nixos.locale module.
{
flake.modules.nixos.locale = {
i18n = {
<<default-locale>>
<<extra-locale-settings>>
};
};
}Default Locale
en_DK.UTF-8 is a well-known trick: English messages and collation, but
ISO 8601 dates and sane metric units, instead of en_US's nonsense
MM/DD/YYYY and imperial units.
defaultLocale = "en_DK.UTF-8";Regional Settings
Since I live in France, I want addresses, money, paper size, phone
numbers and the like to follow French conventions instead of whatever
en_DK would otherwise pick.
