Android aosp download problems

Hi i'm new archlinux user.
I'm trying to download android AOSP (nougat) following this tutorial https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/android .
After creating python2.7 virtual env, activating it with "source venv/bin/activate" and installed repo with pacman;  i ran command to initialize repo:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-7.1.0_r7

But i get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/s1ckb017/Desktop/android_stuff/android-7.1.0_r7/.repo/repo/main.py", line 531, in <module>

    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 46: invalid continuation byte

I looked for the error but did not find anything.
Can someone help me?

Try input "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8" at the beginning.
