User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.2 (like Gecko) Build Identifier: Following the "Gentoo Linux Localization Guide" takes alot of work. I would like to suggest a tool that guides the user through all the steps or atleast most iportant ones. The idea is to be able to set all locale settings in one place. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: I could newer set the locales as I wanted. For example my local fonts (slovenian), were never supported in console. Glibc allways compiles all locales. Expected Results: Use only selected locales :)

I believe is this is know as an installer. Not an infra bug anyway.

No, it doesn't - if you actually read the above guide and set up /etc/locale.gen as required. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml#doc_chap3 Maybe app-admin/system-config-language will do what you want, I didn't try and have no need for such tools.
Check that link: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Speak_Your_Language and you will see, that it is required too modify at least three config files to "speak you language"
If you'd like to play with system-config-language, it appears that available languages must be listed in a SUPPORTED variable in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. It's still masked and likely won't work as desired yet.
What is the status of this bug? Looks really old and it's not clear what work is expected here :/
No progress will be made on this without the interested parties doing the work.
