Solution

To properly display Chinese Characters in an application, the following three variables should be used,

123	LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8   LANGUAGE=zh_CN:zh:en_US:en   LC_ALL=LC_ALL=zh_CN.UTF-8

But the problem is that "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.

Run the following command:

1	sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-zh-hans

Or

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

If you want to support traditional Chinese characters, run

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

Or

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

Run the locale command to set the current locale environment.

Related commands:

Locale -- all-locales list all supported locale in the current system

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

Localectl set-locales LOCALE... modify locale in the current system. It has the same function as locale and is the same as the three variables mentioned above in export.

For CentOS, you can directly edit the/etc/sysconfig/i18n file and set LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" to LANG = "zh_CN.UTF-8". In addition, the locale command under CentOS is displayed as follows:

1

# 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 =

LC_ALL = is null, but it does not indicate that it is incorrect. LC_ALL = is actually equal to LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_MONETARY, LC_MESSAGES, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_TIME. For more information, see locale (7 ).
