[yocto] Howto generate a Yocto image with spanish full-support by default

[Iván Castell]

Hello yocto mailing list.

I'm having troubles trying to setup a Yocto image with full support to
English and Spanish languages (Spanish as default).

The testing image I am building is based on the rocko branch, and my distro
is "systemd" based.

My current distro.conf yocto setup is this:

    GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES ?= "es_ES.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8"
    IMAGE_LINGUAS ?= "es-es en-us"

With this setup I am getting an image with this locale settings:

    # locale
    LANG=
    LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
    LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
    LC_TIME="POSIX"
    LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
    LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
    LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
    LC_PAPER="POSIX"
    LC_NAME="POSIX"
    LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
    LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
    LC_ALL=

    # localectl
   System Locale: n/a
       VC Keymap: ES
      X11 Layout: es
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

    # locale -a
    C
    POSIX
    en_US
    es_ES

    # locale -m
    ES

    # locale charmap
    ANSI_X3.4-1968

    # rpm -qa | grep charmap
    glibc-charmap-es-2.26-r0.corei7_64

The image built with that setup doesn't work as expected. When I press Ñ
(enye) key on the ssh console, I get this:

    root at hostname:~#
    (arg: 1)

As you can see, 'ñ' character is not printed on the console.

After a lot of tests, I have been able to fix this creating these two files:


    $ cat /etc/locale.conf
    LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
    LANGUAGE=es:en

    $ cat /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
    LC_ALL=es_ES
    LANG=es_ES
    LANGUAGE=es_ES

After rebooting, I get this localectl settings:

    # localectl
   System Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
                  LANGUAGE=es:en
       VC Keymap: ES
      X11 Layout: es
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

And the 'Ñ' key works as expected:

    root at iwill:~# ñññññ

I don't know how to fix this issue without having to make manual changes to
the generated image.
I would like the generated image with Spanish support available once the
.wic image is burned into my USB memory stick.

Is that posible? How should be managed?

Thanks in advance for your time! :-)
