Gnuplot does not write local name of days in Windows-CodePudding

I want Gnuplot to use the norwegian name of the days (%a) as xtics. In Linux I can be done by usingset locale 'nb_NO.utf-8'. But in Windows 10, when tryingset locale 'Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.1252', this results in the errorLocale not available. The output of show locale is:

gnuplot LC_CTYPE   Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.1252
gnuplot encoding   utf8
gnuplot LC_TIME    Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.1252
gnuplot LC_NUMERIC C

I suppose the error is due to the character å (unocode 00E5, Latin Small Letter A with ring). How can I set correct locale in Windows?

CodePudding user response：

That's what I get with the following code. Tested with gnuplot 5.4 under Win10. I hope it will solve your problem.

Code:

### set locale to different languages
reset session

set locale "English"
do for [i=0:6] { print strftime("%A",time(0) 3600*24*i) }

set locale "French"
do for [i=0:6] { print strftime("%A",time(0) 3600*24*i) }

set locale "Norwegian"
do for [i=0:6] { print strftime("%A",time(0) 3600*24*i) }

### end of code
