How to change locale

Locale determines which language and encoding is used by your Linux system. If the wrong locale is chosen, you might see that the system messages or UI are in a foreign language or the character encoding has issues.

• To see the current locale:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

• To change the locale, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales. In the first dialog, make sure the locale you want is chosen. In the second dialog, choose the default locale. When you press OK, the system will generate locales if needed and set the default locale. You might need to logout and login to see the current locale change.
