I've just installed solaris 9. Instyead of the default US-7 ASCII locale
(C/Posix) I've opted to install the french canadian and english canadian
locale as well.

When web start asked me for the default system local, I responded POSIX.

I was hoping that afterward, I could simply put:

LANG=fr_CA.ISO8859-1
export LANG

And get dates in french and error message in french for my regular user's
ssh sessions, and have the english messages by default.

That does not seem to work. I get correct dates, sort, etc... in french, but
the error messages are still in english. I then proceeded to load the
"languages CD" and run the web start installer and install the french locale
and rebooted. That did not help either...

Is there a way to accomplish what I want ? I still need the english messages
for root, because it's easier to search the doc in english when you encouter
a problem (not to mention that the french messages confuses me at best)

Thanks
