[Freeciv] HELP!: I can't get native language support!

[Erik Sigra <freeciv@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
Today I wanted to try the local language support. I followed the
instructions I found but it didn't work. The following is cut and pasted
from my Konsole:


freeciv@a77:~/stable/freeciv-1.11.4 > export LANG; LANG=de
freeciv@a77:~/stable/freeciv-1.11.4 > echo $LANG
de
freeciv@a77:~/stable/freeciv-1.11.4 > civ
 
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
freeciv@a77:~/stable/freeciv-1.11.4 > # Quitted client
freeciv@a77:~/stable/freeciv-1.11.4 > ser
This is the server for Freeciv version 1.11.4

libz-1.1.3-138
freeciv@a77:~/stable/freeciv-1.11.4 > rmdir /root
rmdir: /root: Keine Berechtigung 

This doesn't look like german at all, except for the very last command
that has absolutely nothing to do with Freeciv. Excuse me for being a
newbie on local language support, but what should I do?
