Using Aliases to Set Locales

You can use aliases to change a terminal-emulation window between the Simplified Chinese and ASCII/English locale from time to time without typing long command lines or editing your .dtlogin file and running source every time.

Setting Up Locale Aliases for the Korn Shell

    Put aliases like the following in your .profile file.


alias chn "export LANG=zh; /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw"
alias chn_GBK "export LANG=zh.GBK; /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw"
alias asc "export LANG=C; /bin/stty cs7 istrip defeucw"
alias chn_UTF-8 "export LANG=zh.UTF-8; /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw"

Setting Up Locale Aliases for the C Shell

    Put aliases like the following in your .cshrc file.


alias chn_EUC "setenv LANG zh; /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw"
alias chn_GBK "setenv LANG zh.GBK; /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw"
alias asc "setenv LANG C; /bin/stty cs7 istrip defeucw"
alias chn_UTF-8 "setenv LANG=zh.UTF-8; /bin/stty cs8 -istrip defeucw"
