# Locales
|
|
|
|
This Ansible role manages the system locale configuration by deploying `locale.gen` and `locale.conf`, then generating the requested locales.
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
- Copies your `locale.gen` template to `/etc/locale.gen`
|
|
- Copies your `locale.conf` template to `/etc/locale.conf`
|
|
- Runs `locale-gen` to generate and activate configured locales
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
1. **Template deployment**
|
|
- `locale.gen`: uncomment or specify the locales you need
|
|
- `locale.conf`: sets `LANG` and `LANGUAGE` environment variables
|
|
2. **Locale generation**
|
|
- Executes the `locale-gen` command (requires privilege escalation)
|
|
3. **Idempotency**
|
|
- Templates are only reapplied if changed
|
|
- `locale-gen` only re-runs when the template changes
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* Full control over uncommented locales in `locale.gen`
|
|
* Simple override via templates in your role directory
|
|
* Works on any system supporting `locale-gen` |
