It's the second time that this happened after an update. Now I don't know what to do. All the solutions online didnt work for me.

Using Plasma? GNOME?

I'm using GNOME. I changed the "Language" setting however to different values.

Different from what?

I changed it from what it was set to originally, which is "English (United Kingdom)" to other locales available such as "English (United States)" and "Francais (France)". It still won't work

Something™ sets
LANG=C.utf8
But should be "C.UTF-8", inspect your shell rc.

Remember to run

AFAIK nothing changes the LANG variable.
But there is a problem, when I try to change the language with gnome-control-center, it doesn't change and stays on "English (United Kingdom)". what does gnome-control-center changes so that I can manually change it.

What's the output of
localectl

Guys and gals. I fixed it. The error was that "C.UTF-8" was not commented out in `/etc/locale.gen`. Now locale-gen returns this and everything works as normal (no reboot required).
$ sudo locale-gen

That's still somewhat of a band aid. Why are you using a C locale in the first place? Is this intentional? These are normally fallbacks if no other real locale is present
Offline
grep -r 'C.utf8' /etc
If that doesn't show anything, next run
grep -r 'C.utf8' ~
