How to change gnome session locale?
How do I change the default locale for my gnome session? I created /etc/default/locale-local with this content:
LANG=pt_PT.UTf-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
and added this to /etc/pam.d/gdm3, /etc/pam.d/gdm3-autologin, /etc/pam.d/gdm-welcome, /etc/pam.d/login, /etc/pam.d/su and /etc/pam.d/sshd:
session required pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale-local
What am I missing?

I am not sure why you are doing it piecewise. The normal route is:
to check current settings:
locale
check existing locales
locale -a
chnage settings by either editing /etc/default/locale, or by using update-locale
update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=POSIX
generate locales
locale-gen
locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8
change gdm settings, by editing /var/cache/gdm/$USER/dmrc
rebooting.
Hope this helps.

Debian documentation advices against changing form us_US.UTF-8 for maximum compatibility! Maybe there are better ways?...

us_US.UTF-8 does not exist. As for the locales I used, I wrote them as examples. I do not know what you want to set, you can set whatever you like. The info I gave you come from wiki.debian.org/Locale and from serverfault.com/questions/54591/…

Right. I meant en_US.UTF-8.
