Consider this one: (set-language-info-alist "French" '((tutorial . "TUTORIAL.fr") (charset ascii latin-iso8859-1) (coding-system iso-latin-1 iso-latin-9) (coding-priority iso-latin-1) (nonascii-translation . latin-iso8859-1) (unibyte-syntax . "latin-1") (unibyte-display . iso-latin-1) (input-method . "latin-1-prefix") (sample-text . "French (Français) Bonjour, Salut") (documentation . "\ This language environment is almost the same as Latin-1, but it selects the French tutorial and input method.")) '("European")) We could make it shorter using inheritance, but it is already pretty short; is it really worth while making it any shorter?
