My server is hosted by a french provider, which by default set locales to french (quite obviously) when a new system is installed.

From there… Just no way to cleanly change it without getting the following error :

bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US:UTF-8)

I've been googling for a week and tried many ways to set it cleanly; but it remains ill.

I would be very happy to know if there was a clean, efficient way to set it (as far as I've read, this change remains odd and no working answer has been found).

  • This question will probably be closed as a duplicate soon. If those answers do not fully address your question, please edit it to include why and flag this for re-opening. Thanks! – Seth Feb 10 '13 at 17:17
  • Okay to close it, but what has been explained in two lines here http://askubuntu.com/questions/253381/how-to-get-past-cannot-change-locale-error-in-ubuntu-server#comment317073_253381 does not works on my side. So in my opinion it is not a valid answer (anymore… what version of ubuntu are we at ?) @eliah-kagan – Ben Feb 10 '13 at 23:10
  • @Ben If I understand you correctly, you're saying you tried both answers there and neither worked for you. Assuming that is the case, please edit your question to include detailed information about what you tried and what happened (not just a link). Then it will be clear this is not a duplicate, and enough information will be present so that someone unfamiliar with its history will be able to see it and post a useful answer. Then I think it will be quite appropriate to reopen this. – Eliah Kagan Feb 10 '13 at 23:31
  • I understand I do not provide enough informations. But the answer shown on your link is clear. I typed sudo locale-gen fr_FR and sudo update-locale LANG=fr_FR. it remains the same. – Ben Feb 10 '13 at 23:38
