Locales

This Ansible role manages the system locale configuration by deploying locale.gen and locale.conf, then generating the requested locales.

Description

• Copies your locale.gen template to /etc/locale.gen

• Copies your locale.conf template to /etc/locale.conf

• Runs locale-gen to generate and activate configured locales

Overview

1. Template deployment

   • locale.gen: uncomment or specify the locales you need

   • locale.conf: sets LANG and LANGUAGE environment variables

2. Locale generation

   • Executes the locale-gen command (requires privilege escalation)

3. Idempotency

   • Templates are only reapplied if changed

   • locale-gen only re-runs when the template changes

Features

• Full control over uncommented locales in locale.gen

• Simple override via templates in your role directory

• Works on any system supporting locale-gen
