[yocto] Why generated locales does not have .UTF-8 suffix?

Tue Mar 14 10:08:13 PDT 2017

Hi Khem,

I've tried with the GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES variable too but locales are 
still generated without .utf8 suffix.

A little bit of info, locales are working, I can see localized strings. 
E.g. if I set en_US locale and execute "ls --help" I can see the output 
of ls in english. If i set zh_CN (chinese) locale and execute "ls 
--help" I can see the output of ls in chinese.

The problem is realted to the encoding of a locale. Until now I have not 
found any way to generate an UTF-8 locale.

Since the encoding is not specified in the file name, how can I check 
the encoding of a locale called "en_US"?

Best regards,

Fabio Emiliani
