I think the more portable way to discover what locale names the OS
knows is "locale -a" ... /etc/locale.gen doesn't exist on my machines.
FWIW, on the machines I have access to, "sv_SE.iso88591" seems to be the
standard spelling for this locale name; for instance on Fedora Core 5
$ locale -a | grep sv
sv_FI
sv_FI.iso88591
sv_FI(dot)iso885915(at)euro
sv_FI.utf8
sv_FI(at)euro
sv_SE
sv_SE.iso88591
sv_SE.iso885915
sv_SE.utf8
$
