Situation

User wants to setup the language eDirectory will display.

Resolution

nds-install, ndsd, ndsconfig, ndsstat, ndstrace and other eDirectory utilities check the LANG and LC_CTYPE variables when they load to determine in which language to display text.

Example:
To set the LANG and LC_CTYPE variables to French:
LANG=fr_FR
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
export LANG LC_CTYPE
