It took me a while to figure out how to get a Finnish locale correctly set on Ubuntu Server with Apache2 and PHP5.
At first the output for "locale -a" was this:
C
en_US.utf8
POSIX
I had to install a finnish language pack with
"sudo apt-get install language-pack-fi-base"
Now the output for "locale -a" is:
C
en_US.utf8
fi_FI.utf8
POSIX
The last thing you need to do after installing the correct language pack is restart Apache with "sudo apache2ctl restart". The locale "fi_FI.utf8" can then be used in PHP5 after restarting Apache.
For setting Finnish timezone and locale in PHP use:
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Helsinki');
setlocale(LC_ALL, array('fi_FI.UTF-8','fi_FI@euro','fi_FI','finnish'));
?>
