Locale Problems Kubuntu 16.10

Question

I have Kubuntu 16.10, Kernel Version: 4.8.0-42-generic

There is a problem with locales.

There ar missing some files or directory.

I have searched other posts (for examle: How do I fix my locale issue?)

I tried to aplly

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales "es_ES.UTF-8"

But i'm lost. My locale setting are Germany in regional and the detailed settings ar all in spanish.

Thanks in advance

Try to generate the nds_DE.UTF-8 locale:

sudo locale-gen nds_DE

Edit:

The problem proved to be that not all files belonging to the locales package were present, and reinstalling solved it:

sudo apt install --reinstall locales

@Xoktz: What does the command dpkg-query -W locales output? – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Mar 25 '17 at 19:47

@Xoktz: Then run sudo apt install --reinstall locales and then try the generate command again. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Mar 25 '17 at 19:53
