/etc/locale.gen and /etc/env.d/02locale are used to support your local language. The following are examples for French Canadian. You can look in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED for the default list of supported combinations or look in /usr/share/i18n/locales to determine values to use.

# nano -w /etc/locale.gen

Copy this value to your file (French Canadian)

fr_CA.UTF-8 UTF-8

# nano -w /etc/env.d/02locale

Copy this to your file (French Canadian)

LANG="fr_CA.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="fr_CA.UTF-8"

After editing the files, generate a localized environment:

# locale-gen && env-update && source /etc/profile

/etc/conf.d/keymaps

Funtoo Linux defaults to a US English keyboard. If you are using another type of keyboard, edit /etc/conf.d/keymaps and set keymap to your keyboard model. For example, cf for French Canadian keyboard, fr for French Azerty.

nano -w /etc/conf.d/keymaps
