I am currently translating the User Interface of meld for users in Taiwan. I launched the compiled version but the system do not display with the required locale. I checked my system settings and found the system pushed me to use zh_HK. I cannot change my computer to zh_TW, so I seeked for help from Google. I found an article about changing the default locale from Terminal, so here is what I get:

tom@BKGOVWKS04:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[sudo] password for tom: 
Generating locales...
  en_HK.UTF-8... done
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  zh_HK.UTF-8... up-to-date
  zh_TW.UTF-8... hash collision (1741690699) zh_TW.utf8, es_CU.utf8
failed
Generation complete.
tom@BKGOVWKS04:~$

hash collision? What is it? Did I do something wrong before? How can I correct it?

    Can you please try sudo apt-get install --reinstall locales and let us know if it makes a difference. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Mar 12 '15 at 10:04

    The es_CU.utf8 coming from nowhere is gone.
