I think we’re missing an easy way to configure this. One way to do it
system-wide would be (untested):
(simple-service 'locale-setup session-environment-service-type
'(("LANG" . "en_US.UTF-8")
("LC_CTIME" . "sv_SE.UTF-8")))
That way, all sessions would get these environment variables by default.
HTH!
Ludo’.
