Apparently on FreeBSD locale support is not so great.
There can be problems setting the locale. For example,
<?
setlocale (LC_TIME,"pt_BR");
?>
at first didn't work for me.
Command to list all locales on the system...
locale -a
...which showed (in my case) that my needed locale was present, but with the charset appended to the
locale name. ( ie: pt_BR.ISO8859-1, pt_BR.UTF-8 )
These locales are usually in folders at /usr/share/locale/
What I did to resolve the problem was create a symbolic link:
ln -s /usr/share/locale/pt_BR.ISO8859-1 /usr/share/locale/pt_BR
And it worked. There will probably be problems with pages with different encodings, so perhaps
there's a better way, but if not, hope this is a help to someone.
