     <h2>Standard documents and specifications</h2>
 
+    <h2>Testing the new locale file</h2>
+
+	<p>To test a new locale on a test machine, do the
+	following:</p>
+
+	<ul>
+
+	  <li>Copy the new locale to
+	    <tt>/usr/share/i18n/locales/<em>filename</em></tt></li>
+
+	  <li>Run <tt>localedef -i <em>inputfile</em> -c -f
+	      <em>charset<em> <em>locale</em></tt> to generate a
+	    binary locale file in
+	    <tt>/usr/lib/locale/<em>locale</em>/</tt></li>
+
+	  <li>Test it using LANG=<em>locale</em>, for example by
+	    running <tt>date</tt></li>
+
+	</ul>
+
+	<p>Example, generating a new <tt>de_DE@euro</tt> locale using
+	  the ISO-8859-15 charset and save it as 'de_DE':</p>
+
+	<pre>
+	  cp de_DE@euro /usr/share/i18n/locales/de_DE@euro
+	  localedef -i de_DE@euro -c -f ISO-8859-15 de_DE
+	  LANG=de_DE date
+	</pre>
