asking since we may want to avoid any changes to upstream code unless they
are absolutely necessary.
No, I do not know, why encoding does not work. Not even language and
country settings in terminal window. It can be a terminal bug. But there
are several localized tools like flex. If you set export LANG=fi_FI@UTF-8
in linux terminal window, and type a command flex --help, you can see
everything in Finnish. Even export LANG=fi, or export LANG=fi_FI works in
linux environment. But not in Haiku terminal. I do not know if here is
implemented a non-localized versions of flex, only. Or is there any other
reason why Finnish translations do not work in terminal window. And this
missing locid.cpp (patch) Finnish language implementation was one thing
that I found when searching for the reason for that.
I'm generally wondering if "const char** fStrings;" strings in
Country.h file are defined to save encodings like "UTF-8, euro,
ISO-8859-1" etc. But it is unclear for me how they are implemented?
