Chromium doesn't start anymore

I can't start chromium.  I've not used it for some month...  In a terminal I get this error message:

[1:1:0504/155123:FATAL:chrome_main_delegate.cc(804)] Check failed: !loaded_locale.empty(). Locale could not be found for 
#0 0x5599cb20422e <unknown>

#5 0x5599cad565da ChromeMain
#6 0x7f7c80c21710 __libc_start_main
#7 0x5599cad56489 _start

I've tried and failed using 

LANG=C chromium

Re: Chromium doesn't start anymore

What is the output of `locale` and `locale -a`?

Hmm, that all looks fine. Try

Yes, up to date!
I've searched for the error message and only found >3 years posts related to a build error.
Unlikely, more people  would complain.
