Re: Create a snapshot error “Failed to set locale. Fix your system.”
I set /etc/locale.conf like this
# echo 'LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8' > /etc/locale.conf
But it doesn't work

How did you install Arch?
I installed it in the steps of Wiki
What can I do to initialize locale?

Re: Create a snapshot error “Failed to set locale. Fix your system.”
However you actually installed arch, you somehow export some LC or LANG variable to the invalid code "zh_CN.US-ASCII"
If you installed arch yourself using the wiki, you should recall how this happened. Otherwise grep your filesystem for the string.
