you can use the below command on terminal
export LC_ALL=C
Generating locales
Missing locales are generated with locale-gen:
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
Alternatively a locale file can be created manually with localedef:[1]
localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
Setting Locale Settings
The locale settings can be set (to en_US.UTF-8
in the example) as follows:
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
dpkg-reconfigure locales
The dpkg-reconfigure locales
command will open a dialog under Debian for selecting the desired locale. This dialog will not appear under Ubuntu. The Configure Locales in Ubuntu article shows how to find the information regarding Ubuntu.
vim /etc/default/locale
add to it:
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
adding the following lines to my /etc/environment file worked
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
$ vim ~/.zshrc
Write there below:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
Update changes in current shell by: $ source ~/.zshrc
you have to add the missing local lang helper: for me the missing ones where de_LU de_LU.UTF-8 . Mongo 2.6.4 worked wihtout mongo 2.6.5 throw an error on this
