* Locale
|
||
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.
|
||
#+begin_src nix :tangle yes
|
||
{
|
||
flake.modules.nixos.locale = {
|
||
i18n = {
|
||
<<default-locale>>
|
||
<<extra-locale-settings>>
|
||
};
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
** 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.
|
||
#+name: default-locale
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
defaultLocale = "en_DK.UTF-8";
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
** 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.
|
||
#+name: extra-locale-settings
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
extraLocaleSettings = {
|
||
LC_ADDRESS = "fr_FR.UTF-8";
|
||
LC_IDENTIFICATION = "fr_FR.UTF-8";
|
||
LC_MEASUREMENT = "fr_FR.UTF-8";
