[solved]sonata won't open (terminal output inside)

I am new to Arch, after using Ubuntu for a few months.. this is the first problem that i have run into that i can't' figure out how to fix.
I am trying to use the mpd client "Sonata"  but it doesn't open for me.  When i do it in the terminal, i get this output:

(sonata:16223): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

    self.enc = locale.getpreferredencoding()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 512, in getpreferredencoding
    setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 476, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

i tried to search for the answer, but honestly, i don't even know what to search for in this case.  I am using KDEmod as DE and can give any other information about my system if needed. 

can someone please try to help me out with this?

Re: [solved]sonata won't open (terminal output inside)

The problem seems to be related to dbus somewhow.  Do you have dbus daemon enabled in your rc.conf?

You need to configure your locale:

I am having the same issue but fixing my locale doesn't seem to work (I also have dbus in my daemons in /etc/rc.conf)

Did you start dbus? adding it to the daemons field in rc.conf only make it start up at boot.

I've since restarted.

[EDIT FIXED] I changed my ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh to exclude foreign language support
