[SOLVED]Viewing Bengali(Indic) font in Dolphin File Browser

Somedays ago, I needed to reinstall Arch. Upon reinstall, the support for the bengali language in dolphin is lost. Tweaking with locale had no result. It's frustrating for me so much as I have a lot of files in bengali name that I can't no more understand what it actually is. I would appreciate it a lot if you guys help me out.

Make sure you have uncommented the locales you need in /etc/locale.gen and have run

# locale-gen

If that does not work (not sure if reboot is needed), post the output of

$ locale

I tried it before. This doesn't solve the issue. The output of locale is

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=C
LC_NUMERIC=C
LC_TIME=C
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER=C
LC_NAME=C
LC_ADDRESS=C
LC_TELEPHONE=C
LC_MEASUREMENT=C
LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
LC_ALL=

Sorry, I solved it. The problem was KDE overwritting my locale file with it's environment variable. Had no idea how to disable it, so uninstalled kde, set the locale.gen and locale .conf again. Reinstalled KDE and voiloa...... It works perfectly now.
Thanks for your support though
