Problem-solving approach

To achieve the purpose of the normal display of Chinese characters in the application, the following three variables should be shown below.

Lang=zh_cn. UTF-8 language=zh_cn:zh:en_us:en LC_ALL=LC_ALL=ZH_CN. UTF-8

But the problem is "lc_all to default locale:no such file or directory" and "Lc_all:cannot change Locale" (ZH_CN. UTF-8) ", so reinstall the Chinese language pack.

Execute the following command

sudo apt-get-y install Language-pack-zh-hans

Or

sudo apt-get-y install Language-pack-zh-hans language-pack-zh-hans-base

If you want to support traditional characters, perform

sudo apt-get-y install language-pack-zh-hant

Or

sudo apt-get-y install language-pack-zh-hant language-pack-zh-hant-base

Then perform the locale command to set the current locale environment

Related commands:

Locale--all-locales lists all supported locales in the current system

Localectl list-locales lists all the available locales in the current system

Localectl set-locales LOCALE ... Modifies the locale in the current system, same as the locale function, same as the three variables mentioned in export

For CentOS, you can edit the/etc/sysconfig/i18n file directly, and the lang= "en_US. UTF-8 "set to Lang=" ZH_CN. UTF-8 ", in addition to the following, the display result of the CentOS locale command is as follows:

# locale

Lang=en_us. UTF-8
Lc_ctype= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_numeric= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_time= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_collate= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_monetary= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_messages= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_paper= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_name= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_address= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_telephone= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_measurement= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_identification= "en_US. UTF-8 "
Lc_all=

Where lc_all= is empty, but it does not mean that it is not right here, but that lc_all= is actually equal to Lc_collate, Lc_ctype, Lc_monetary, Lc_messages, Lc_numeric, lc_time, see locale ( 7).
