Adding en_BE locale to Linux

I live in Belgium, but I prefer english as my default locale. Using the en_US or en_GB locale brings problems of it’s own - not having the right system (metric) or wrong start of week day..

A while ago I came across this GitHub gist of Yannick Vanhaeren that gives a definition for en_BE ;)

sudo cp /tmp/en_BE /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_BE
sudo localedef -i en_BE -c -f UTF-8 en_BE
echo "en_BE.UTF-8 UTF-8" | sudo tee -a /etc/locale.gen
sudo locale-gen
