<replaceable>[charmap]</replaceable> should be replaced with the
canonical charmap for your chosen locale.</para>
<para>The list of all locales supported by Glibc can be obtained by running
the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput>locale -a</userinput></screen>
<para>Locales can have a number of synonyms, e.g. <quote>ISO-8859-1</quote> is
also referred to as <quote>iso8859-1</quote> and <quote>iso88591</quote>.
Some applications cannot handle the various synonyms correctly, so it is safest
to choose the canonical name for a particular locale. To determine the
canonical name, run the following command, where
<replaceable>[locale name]</replaceable> is the output given by
<command>locale -a</command> for your preferred locale
(<quote>en_GB.iso88591</quote> in our example).</para>
<screen><userinput>LC_ALL=<replaceable>[locale name]</replaceable> locale charmap</userinput></screen>
<para>For the <quote>en_GB.iso88591</quote> locale, the above command
will print:</para>
<screen>ISO-8859-1</screen>
<para>This results in in a final locale setting of <quote>en_GB.ISO-8859-1</quote>.</para>
<para>Once the proper locale settings have been determined, create the
