Hello,
I have a weired problem regarding locale languages.
I edited my /etc/locale.gen and deleted everything except
ar_EG.UTF-8 UTF-8
ar_EG ISO-8859-6
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1Then I made:
$ sudo locale-gen
Generating locales...
ar_EG.UTF-8... done
ar_EG.ISO-8859-6... done
en_US.UTF-8... done
en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
Generation complete.when I type
locale -ait returns with
$ locale -a
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
ar_EG
ar_EG.iso88596
ar_EG.utf8
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8when I try to compile anything it always says
svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
svn: warning: environment variable LANG is en_GB.utf8
svn: warning: please check that your locale name is correctwhere this GB came from??

What's the output of 'locale'?
Are you exporting your LANG somewhere, like .bashrc?
What shell are you using?

Do you have /etc/locale.conf.?

No I don't have /etc/locale.conf
and unfortunately I don't understand the link!!! What should I do after deleting the /etc/profile.d/locale.sh

The link is just some background info to refresh your memory, but as you're using bash and haven't got any extra locale.conf, it doesn't matter, you needn't do anything.
Have you tried to set your locale correctly and reboot?
Offline
Yes I did and not working!
Should I delete /etc/profile.d/locale.sh and create /etc/locale.conf and put
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C
Offline
It's enough if you add it to your ~/.bashrc:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_MESSAGES="C"and reboot.

Thanks Karol, it worked.
I still don't get why was it needed in the first place ...
