ProcedureHow to Add a Locale to a System

  1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

    Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

  2. Add the packages for the locale you want to install on your system using the localeadm command. The -a option and a locale identifies the locale that you want to add. The -d option and a device identifies the device containing the locale packages you want to add. To add the Central European region (ceu) to your system, for example:


    # localeadm -a ceu -d /net/install/latest/Solaris/Product
    
    locale/region name is ceu
    
    Devices are /net/install/latest/Solaris/Product
