[gentoo-user] Changing encoding in the terminal

Hi!
 
 I have a problem. I am using mathplotlib but this program can only use the characters that I can use in the terminal. My system is in English but I need german characters. How can I change the encoding from
 
 current locale (ANSI_X3.4-1986) to UTF8 so that UTF8 is default?
 
 
 Thanks!

See that /etc/locales.build has "de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8" in it, and put
LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8" into /etc/env.d/02locale (you may need to
create it), env-update and relogin. Substitude de_DE for en_US if you
don't want German translations.
Also, next time, please consult the manual, the other docs on gentoo.org
gentoo-wiki.com first ;)
