Hello Ludo,

Thanks for your reply !

Yes

Good catch for Libreoffice, I didn't thought about that since I use to 
open LO files with Thunar (it raise an other question : how to set 
GUIX_LOCPATH for applications that I do not from command line, but it's 
not related to guix).

But for zsh, `GUIX_LOCPATH` was already setted.

Each time I type a non ASCII letter, eg `é` it display : 
`<ffffffff><ffffffff>`

> Do you see any locale-related warnings?
I had those warnings but fix them with instructions given in 
https://issues.guix.info/issue/36074
> Thanks for reporting the issue!

And thank for taking tare of it ! :D

Andréas
