A simple copy+paste mistake, since the reference to
systemd-localed.service was added to both locale.conf(5) and
vconsole.conf(5) in the same commit (8968e36f21).

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> file configures
|
|
system-wide locale settings. It is read at early boot by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The basic file format of <filename>locale.conf</filename> is
|
|
a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
|
|
variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
|
|
from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments, no
|
|
shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the
|
|
file without implementing a shell compatible execution
|
|
engine.</para>

<para>The locale settings configured in

individual programs or individual users.</para>

<para>Depending on the operating system, other configuration files

might be checked for locale configuration as well, however only as

fallback.</para>

<para><filename>/etc/locale.conf</filename> is usually created and updated

the command line. Use

<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>

to initialize them on mounted (but not booted) system images.</para>
