I'm stuck with using CentOS for our VLE and I've been building up a new server to replace the one that's dying. I can't set the locale though: I've set keyboard layout in the setup doohickey, but it doesn't work, and whatever I tell locale(1) it insists on being en_US.UTF8.
In debian-land I'd dpkg-reconfigure locales and then build the .mo file with localegen(1); is there a CentOS equivalent?
I also can't make the console font sensible or in colour, which is just bugging me, but that's for bonus points.
You know my feelings on Centos
Tried system-config-language and localedef ?

Managed to set the locale (in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, of all places) and re-initting enables it, so that's fine (already tried system-config-language, load of help that was..) Had to force localedef to do its job though because there are invalid characters in the .po, thanks centos!
The console is still not right though - seems to be in an absolutely essential fallback mode, so no column geometry, letter weighting, colour, clearing - nothing
Got it: it's on a Xen host, and the xen kernel forces all output to the serial console, which of course can only talk vt100
Might just have to put up with it, I don't care that much.
