[b]2. How to setup custom locale in LibreELEC ?[/b]
I would like to setup locale 
[code]
cs_CZ.UTF-8

Display More

in my kodi addon.
There are 2 available locales in LibreELEC:
[code=php]
LibreELEC800:~ # locale -a
C
POSIX
LibreELEC800:~ #
[/php]
and locale-gen is missing
[code=php]
LibreELEC800:/ # find -name "locale*"
./usr/bin/locale
./usr/bin/localedef
./usr/lib/python2.7/locale.pyo
./usr/share/X11/locale
./usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias
./usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir
./usr/share/i18n/locales
LibreELEC800:/ #
[/php]

How to add cs_CZ.UTF-8 to available locales ?
Thank you very much for clarification.

How do you try to connect to it? I guess you are using Windows. If so, probably delete the cache from WinSCP as it might have some older informations stored in it.

See: Cleaning Up Application Data :: WinSCP

I guess there are some older host keys stored which will prevent the login.

Thanks for response.
The problem was with small initial partition for clean install - simply there was not free space enough to install even addons
So expanding virtual disk capacity and clean install solved my ssh issues.

What about my 2nd question - please see first post - possibility to expand available locale ?

Hi all!

Does anybody knows about locales ???
I can't find a way to resolve this problem for a week....
I need locale ru_RU UTF-8....

Thanks for any advice....

It seems we hit an old issue from times of openelec:
OpenELEC Mediacenter - OpenELEC Forum - New Locale (1/1)
add locales to build by henkwiedig · Pull Request #1001 · OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv · GitHub
and there is no public interest to change current state b/c ascii sorting should be enough for all sad but true

It is possible to generate needed locale in Linux either with locale-gen or localedef - please see:
Linux: Define Locale and Language Settings - ShellHacks
and Locales in Debian
I have tried but I hit the wall again:
[code=php]
LibreELEC:/ # localedef -i cs_CZ -f "UTF-8" 'cs_CZ.UTF-8'
character map file `UTF-8' not found: No such file or directory
cannot read character map directory `/usr/share/i18n/charmaps': No such file or
[/php]

So users have to cope with bad sorting in addon I am trying maintain:

or choose another Linux distribution.

Sad but true, but I hope, that locale & localedef will help us!

I have tried to install new locale:
[code=php]
htpc:~/locale # localedef -i ru_RU -f UTF-8 /storage/locale/ru_RU --no-archive
htpc:~/locale # ls
ru_RU
htpc:~/locale # ls ru_RU
LC_ADDRESS LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_MONETARY LC_PAPER
LC_COLLATE LC_MEASUREMENT LC_NAME LC_TELEPHONE
LC_CTYPE LC_MESSAGES LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME
htpc:~/locale # ls ru_RU -l
total 1568
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 151 Apr 13 22:07 LC_ADDRESS
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1243770 Apr 13 22:07 LC_COLLATE
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 317872 Apr 13 22:07 LC_CTYPE
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 341 Apr 13 22:07 LC_IDENTIFICATION
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 Apr 13 22:07 LC_MEASUREMENT
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 22:07 LC_MESSAGES
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 294 Apr 13 22:07 LC_MONETARY
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62 Apr 13 22:07 LC_NAME
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54 Apr 13 22:07 LC_NUMERIC
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Apr 13 22:07 LC_PAPER
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52 Apr 13 22:07 LC_TELEPHONE
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2498 Apr 13 22:07 LC_TIME
htpc:~/locale #

[/php]

It seems to me, I have been generated new locale ru_RU, and now its needed to install this locale to the system.
Am I right?
Any ideas?

In my lamp addon I have locales inside addon and using them with LOCPATH environment variable before starting program

Quote

LOCPATH is an environment variable that tells the setlocale() function
the name of the directory from which to load locale object files.

Code

# start httpd
LOCPATH=$ADDON_DIR/lib/locale exec $ADDON_DIR/bin/httpd ......

But this is binary addon running outside of kodi. For kodi this variable should be set before starting kodi. No idea how to achieve that (maybe /run/libreelec/kodi.conf).

I am on vmware and I am not able to reproduce your way b/c of
[code=php]
character map file `UTF-8' not found: No such file or directory
cannot read character map directory `/usr/share/i18n/charmaps': No such file or directory
LibreELEC:/ #
[/php]

according to: Linux: Define Locale and Language Settings - ShellHacks
should be enough:
[code=php]
localedef -c -i hi_IN -f UTF-8 hi_IN.UTF-8
locale -a
[/php]

I would set locale in python addon:
[code=php]
LibreELEC:~ # python
Python 2.7.13 (default, Feb 28 2017, 07:41:10)
[GCC 6.2.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'cs_CZ.utf8')
[/php]

Although there is quite interesting info about hacking libreELEC which enable to unpack read only system and change what one wants:
