Comment 1 Martin Welss 2005-05-03 13:13:48 UTC
the correct format of the locale is: en_US.ISO-8859-15

Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2005-05-03 13:40:30 UTC
en_EN is an invalid locale, which is why it isn't supported.  It's not
supported by glibc either for the same reason (according to our glibc
maintainer).

You're probably looking for "en_GB" and "en_GB.ISO-8859-15" which are
both valid.

Setting status to NOTABUG (bogus locale)

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2005-05-03 13:45:12 UTC
Additional note:

The submitted bug Summary and the first comment describe 2 completely
different locales.  The one in the summary 'en_US.ISO-8859-15' is
formatted incorrectly, it should be "en_US.ISO8859-15" which is valid
and should work correctly.  en_EN is completely invalid however.

Comment 4 Martin Welss 2005-05-03 13:55:33 UTC
Yes, en_US.ISO8859-15 works just fine. Sorry for the confusion.
